I think the media teaches kids how to behave.

Art I really think you are wrong on this one. People get from their children just about what the expect from their children. So long as one doesn't have unreal expectation the kid will give back just about what the parent wants. I know that from teaching a student whose parents are willing to accept C's makes C's or D's. If the family expects A's they will probably get them if the child is capable. This probably holds true only in families that are "real" families. My son is 33 - he has never done anything in his life that would make me anything other than proud of him - I hope he can say the same about me.
