i don't understand the structure bit. what's so bad about structure? kids like it in form of pleasurably reliable rituals and they get it at good schools, i would think. what is organic vs inorganic structure, pixes? what your kid does not like tommy (i would suppose), probably because he is too act...

ok i will be the devil's advocate here. those kids in the banlieu wearing puma trainers -- they have a false sense of entitlement. they somehow think that being in france means they should be able to make it without brains, education or effort. they do nothing but collect social security, on average...
