two shocking things
  1. I was in an "Everything for two shekels" store yesterday. I noticed that they were selling a peculiar little device. It looked kind of like a hearing aid, and it was advertised as a "cure" for tiredness, driving while sleepy, or drunk driving. I read the details. It was a device that, once turned on, would start to beep if the wearer's head began to droop. So, a drunk person who started falling asleep at the wheel would be woken up as soon as s/he fell asleep and his or her head started to droop. Isn't that horrible?
  2. I was in a department store. Two small boys, probably around six years old, walked by. One of the boys said quite loudly, to his friend, but heard by all: "I'd like to f%#k that woman." ("בא לי לזיין את האשה הזאת") Six years old! What is this world coming to? (And I think he was referring to a skimpily-dressed womannequin.)

In the UK children behave like children according to their age or stage and far as I heard there is more discipline in schools. I only have experience with nursery schools. The nursery is well organized, children learn useful things (like counting, writing their name, difference of colour and shapes etc.) and get taught how to behave. In the UK they are 0-4 in day care nurseries. When they are 5 they go to school.
