What do you do when pretty much all the other kids around them are learning a different thing?
example:
-cut the line

-the one that pushes the most wins
-etc etc

don't you consider you are giving the kids a handicap since you are teaching them to follow the rules to the letter, when others don't?
. Teach them to NOT be one of a herd of sheep!

^^That^^ and let me add = Stop complaining and do something, stop expecting others to do it for you!

Teach them ...
That the world does not revolve around them; that it does not owe them anything; that hard work will (usually) be rewarded, but not always, and that should not deter them from the effort; everyone has rights, but none trump another's; while technology puts the world at our fingertips, it is not acceptable to bury your face in your phone (especially whilst driving).

Given the general profile of mmembers on this site, I would've thought teaching them OCD would be a top priority.

You are a valuable member of society but the Sun doesn't rise and set because of you. Actions have consequences. The sooner you come to understand that you are the "they", the better off you will be.
