Bravo! Excellent points "doug747"! Agreed wholeheartedly!

These "Self-Esteem" obsessed simpletons should wander over to namby-pamby land and try to get some self-confidence!

I would also add that SOME kids (heck people for that matter) only respond to an adult they respect getting up in their face and calling them out (If they were/are slacking)! Others only require a raised eyebrow (not the people's eyebrow btw).
