I do have to agree with Jo. I would not go back to my childhood if I was paid. the constant taunting maliciuos comments the sheer nastiness of other childeren towards me ! I too was as nasty I will never think that those years were "golden years" at all ! EVER ! There are many good times which I shall never forget also, being schooled at a local school I made many contacts and learning to socilaize with my peers is definately a plus ! The responsibility, the need to do well at endless useless topics was a weight to carry + family needs + a need to earn money was very heavy but , on the whole it was a good childhood .
I learn now of pupils becoming this that and the other (good luck to them)may they enjoy their lives and bring families into this world who can be well mannered well ordered self content people of their own right immaterial of the pressures put upon them by todays society !
All of the 60 Minutes clips have been made available here (thank you!), except for the Magic Rubbish clip. If possible, I hope that will be uploaded here, too. I love this interview.
