Filters needed

So I've noticed more and more lately that kids (and adults) really lack a filter. You know, that inner voice that reminds you, "it's not ok to say that now." Kids do it all the time in school -- they open their mouths and stuff comes out that no one in their right mind would say! I have to remind them all the time to turn their filters on. But there are definitely adults that lack one, also. I have a super great example of poor filter usage by adults and students, but I'm not going to write about it here -- if you really want to know, send me an email...

Anyway, I just wish more people would think before they open their mouths. Saying the first thing that pops into their minds just usually is a BAD idea, and causes trouble for more than just them!
