“A culture that believes it has more to learn from the young than to teach them is dying.” – Mona Charen

I really loved Mona Charen’s piece today on Interlochen, a summer music program where excellence remains genuine.

I really hope that in my lifetime, we can rediscover the at-large courage to say without shame that some people are better at some activities than others.  I also hope we can rediscover a sociocultural backbone that reliably says that while it’s important and commendable to befriend children, it’s unquestionably more important to parent them.

Just call me a crazy old conservative.  On those counts, anyway.
