Raising of children

I was reading an article about Killer whales and raising of you Killer whales. It got me thinking ( should I say Ha, Ha )but the point that came out of the article was that the older Killer whales Mother were more successful in raising young.;It made me think how does that apply to Humans. We have litterly thown out all the older people as far as any influence on younger lives. Matter of fact if you look at the care homes or appartments where strictly oler people live , there is a real absence of younger people. These people are kept isolated from the world and no longer have much to say. Matter people in these place, it seems mentally go down hill. At one time these people had a say in how young people were raised. It takes time to learn and young people today are no different. From my experience it really has taken time because as people know, it seems like they have to go through many experiences before they learn what is going on. I do not mean just to memorize a few sentences and call it learning. It is just like all the Mfging plants throwing all the older people out for younger people mainly it is because of health problems that they do not to pay for. I remember a friend that after her huisband died the children treated her like a dog. I think in the end they finish destroying her mentally. There is another thing that I have run into and that is after a husband reaches a certain age , the Wives do everyting to do all the thinking for him. So in the end these women destroy their husbands mentally and the man goes down hill.Maybe it is time to put older people back to work instead of out to Pasture and make use of their knowledge. It reminds me of another story as there was not many space engineers and I believe it was MIT that borought back some Professors that was 92 years old in order to get our space program going. Grandma was teaching one of her Grandchildren to play the Piano and just because the little girl got tired of practising she decided to quit taking lessons. Instead of the Mother telling her daughter to continue she allowed her to quit and the end of young protoge. There is enough storied about the use ( proper use) of older people. There is a need to us these people's experience and education. Enough said.
