By Rich Simon It seems astonishing that even just two or three decades ago, parents not only pretty much knew what was expected of them to turn their offspring into civilized adults, but they could actually count on society to back them up. Even more astounding, kids seemed to understand this, too. Even if they rebelled against, yelled about, or sullenly resented how “unfair” adults were, they seemed to acknowledge adult authority and realize that they would just have to wait until they turned 18 to get for themselves the keys to the kingdom of grown-up independence.

Now, I wonder if anyone will summarise the entire discussion in terms of central points of agreement and disagreement; and then define next steps flowing from this process.
Thanks, and keep up the excellent work promoted and highlighted by the Networker.
