100% - "get 'em young and train 'em."
Wasn't it early behaviorist Watson that claimed he could turn a child into anything?
Give me a dozen healthy infants, well-formed, and my own specified world to bring them up in and I’ll guarantee to take any one at random and train him to become any type of specialist I might select -- doctor, lawyer, artist, merchant-chief and, yes, even beggar-man and thief, regardless of his talents, penchants, tendencies, abilities, vocations, and race of his ancestors.

Behaviorism is alive and well and we are the experiment.
Yea, it's scary to think. The world definitely needs more conservative minded people working with the youth. Even one per location would go a long way to offset the one sided teachings.
A lot of teachers legitimately care and are doing what they think is correct. The problem is it's a liberal echo chamber and no one bucks the system and those thoughts morph into the shit we see.
I had a blast working with the kids and their parents. It was a challenge at times working with the adults trying to control the pudding brains though.
Thank God for educators like you!
