When my kids are at school I want to know they are learning about Abraham Lincoln, the square root of 332,009,089,906 or the chemical makeup of ink. I don't want to think they are learning how to kiss, grope, poke, or touch anyone else. There is plenty of time after you are out of school to do all that. Get your education, then find your love.

Yes, that IS the purpose of school, but social wellbeing for young individuals nowadays is proven to be as vital as the education that they should recieve.
Of course, alot of kids now picture love as being nothing but sexual stimuli, and it is very sad, but I guess times just change.
But still, as I mentioned before, what happened to "Land of the Free"?
