I spend A LOT of time with my own children and meet several others every day, KNOW dozens from age of 3-4 to ~10-12 and children, in general, are Fantastic! They are smart, kind, full of love and most of them do lack the characteristics I hate in adults. They are open minded and receptive, love to learn and are interested in each other and the adults in their environment.
I have to admit that not all kids are the same, but I believe this is not because of them: it's because of shitty parents and shitty adults/teachers/whatever surrounding/raising them.
My kids go to the local Waldorf school, and I know and have a decent relationship with most kids in the pre-school where my younger one goes and the same is true for most of the students in the school where my older daughter goes [from 1st to 4th grade kids]
