A Thought about Our Culture

I may or may not return to this thought, but...
I've been reading the book Total Truth by Nancy Pearcy. It's excellent. If you ever have a chance to buy a copy, even simply to keep it as a reference book (but if you read it it's better), buy it!

Aaaanyway, there's a chapter titled "How Women Started the Culture War." So far, I love it. But it made me think: is there a chance that children today are worse prepared for adult life than they were 100 years ago?

Many of you know about the book Do Hard Things (by Alex and Brett Harris; another good book). Well, I'm sort-of thinking along those lines...you see, 100 years ago, the whole family helped the father in his business, including the children. They learned how to run a business.

Now, we may have more knowledge, and I'm not against school (in fact, I LOVE school!!!) but my point is this: in treating each part of the family as a "loner" individual and isolating ourselves from each other, we're missing out on the chance to not only share experiences together but to learn from each other (especially the kids learning from the parents).

I apologize for the grammar and composition in this post, by the way - I'm in a huge hurry, but I wanted to get this post out there. Maybe I'll go back and edit it later ;)
