Thread Name: BS: What's with 'The Wild Things'?
Subject: RE: BS: What's with 'The Wild Things'?
Children are smart! They will very quickly rise to the level that is offered to them. The same is true of the general public...and if Hollywood, TV, and the politicians realized that...and bothered to offer their public high quality and originality rather than simplistic and hackneyed crap....why just imagine what THAT might do!
Instead, they appear to work on the principle: "garbage in - garbage out" Ka-Ching! More money. Well, you can soon make more money offering people quality stuff too, instead of the garbage, once people get acquainted with quality stuff they will LOVE it.
Children can figure out the multi-syllable words and more complex language in no time flat, and they can be reading material way better than what they are usually offered in school in no time flat too...just give them the chance.
I remember being amazed at the simplistic "Dick and Jane" stuff they put in front of me in school when I first went there. It was a joke. I'd already gone so far past it at home that it seemed completely lame and ridicuous.
