Exceptions

This page is still under construction.

There are of course some obvious exceptions to these guidelines. This list is by no means complete.

Your children. Your children, especially when they are young, do not have a way of knowing right or wrong and it is your job to guide them and raise them in the proper way. At a certain point they do know the difference between right or wrong and if they don't, well, you missed your chance. This time that they know is the gradual period, gradual trend and they move from not knowing at all and only knowing what they want, like to be changed or to be fed, to knowing or thinking that they know everything and you will have to adjust yourself to this changing trend.

School children. We're of course referring to the children in your class. Whether they do know what is right or wrong is not the point. They do have ulterior motives and those motives do not necessarily match yours. They do not necessarily want to learn. They want to see what they can get away with. The school children in your class have to be given instructions, not given the opportunity to choose right or wrong. However, you might opt to give them the opportunity to choose between two things which are good or right or proper so that they can feel that they have a say in things.
