Is any one else bugged with the quality of swimming shown in commercials. It is very rare to see any one who is at all smooth in the water. It especially bugs me in health club ads as they are showing what people are striving for & the swimmers are flailers.(There is a lite beer ad where a man & a women are racing & they are clearly swimmers) Surely there must be some actors who really swim.
Much as we would all like to think that the drug commercials are directed at the children imperiled by the easy acquisition of controlled substances, they are not. They are a stark and graphic reminder of what we, as parents, will witness if we abrogate our duties to our children and society in raising those children.
Public school systems have become a joke, acting little more than a child care system, rewarding children for feeling good about themselves, rather than actually learning something that will matter for the rest of their lives. And this has come to pass because we, the parents, have not lived up to our jobs to provide the atmosphere at home that rewards thinking and creation with challenges and hard won praise. Maybe we are too busy tracking practice times or rushing off to the next meet.
I know this is kind of a downer, and I have traveled off topic, but how critical is it to stay focused on this one?
