9. I don't necesarily agree that parents hepled their kids more back then
Parents were way less involved with their kids in the 50's and 60's. I'm trying to remember the authoress and she was out of NY. She made which I believe was the correct take on the parents of the 50's and 60's and she was right that there was a real dividing line from children and adults. Parents are more involved today. Parents hardly ever came to sporting events in high school. They come all the time now.
