Parents and teachers may be examples to the kids but the environment plays a major role in personality formation. View table of contents...

Examples they say we are.
The kids watch us.
We can be the guides but only so.
Environment plays the precursor!
Don`t start beyond the gate.
It sometimes is fate.
Perhaps if you make a date
and put the kids on your slate.
But don`t ever expect a rebate.
For you may get a lambaste!!
The waste is in the grate.
Pandering in the midst of provocation.
Perhaps this guild is lacking in essence.
So beware, "dearies", not to succumb to the
essential expectations.
For alas, the motivations may be as
convoluted as the ramifications...

True! And in the environment we have family, friends, teachers, and television, movies,... So much is built in to who a child will be. Beautiful, eloquent writing (as always!).
