Role Models
We often hear about athletic superstars that are not good role models. Did you expect them to be? Really?

There are three groups of people who I expect to be good role models: politicians, clergy and teachers. Only teachers come close.

So why are teachers being demonized?

1. Generally Speaking
If your kid needs a role model and you're not it, you're BOTH screwed.
(Just an observation, no finger pointing intended)

2. Parents are too diverse a group for me to have considered them in this analysis, but I agree.
