Well said!!! How about a variation on that quote: "Your right to throttle up your boat/PWC ends where my 150-foot perimeter begins!"
I'm disturbed by what you two science teachers said. I'm only just past 30, so it wasn't too long ago I was in high school, and self-esteem wasn't an issue at all unless some kid was talking suicidal. If that much has changed in so few years, that's disturbing. I began to wonder what was going on in schools when I went to a Little League Baseball championship this past summer and watched *both* teams get equal trophies at the end. I think you're right, if kids grow up with such emphasis on self-esteem they're going to think this entire lake belongs to them. From what you say, it sounds like they'll also have no appreciation for the nature of the lake because it's hard to learn how ecosystems work in science classes where teachers can't correct wrong answers.
