So you're jumping to conclusions then?At least that seems to be the opinon of those who teach my daughter!!
...
What I don't know (yet!!) is whether it's the individual establishments that are putting these restrictions on them but now I'm wondering if it's the school.
Why? If you don't know if they are responsible for this policy?My initial reaction was to write to the heritage centre and complain.
Everywhere? Are you sure that she's not overgeneralising?As my daughter said, "TY is supposed to be teaching us how to be adults and tolerant but everywhere we go we're treated like criminals"
What exactly constitutes "really rude"?It's not the first time, my daughter says bus drivers are really rude to her when she's in uniform but not when she's in regular clothes (she looks older than 16).
How about teaching them logic and objectivity first - i.e. looking at the evidence and drawing conclusions from that rather than launching into emotional tirades based on woolly language and partial knowledge of the facts?How can we teach young people respect if we don't show it to them? More to the point, if those teaching our children are treating them with such contempt, what chance have they got?
All teenagers cannot be tarred with the same brush. A tiny minority of them no doubt will nick the odd bag of crisps.
...so blind he dind not know 10% of it.
A gang of 6 - from a respectable school- came in to a small shop I know and they all went to different parts of the shop , distracted the only attendant there + robbed the single attentant blind...so blind he dind not know 10% of it.
Very good point and probably the crux of the issue.Sadly this sort of incident is extremely common. And sadder still, when shopkeepers have the temerity to report to the Gardai such incidents and the identities of those involved, a significant proportion of parents seem happy to defend their offspring at all costs.
not all teenagers can be tarred with the same brush, but ask any small shopkeeper ....
