Disrespect, Defiance, and Disruption.....where are we going wrong as a society? As you may know, I work in the public school system. I am noticing a change in the way children treat adults, each other, and their parents. Unfortunately, parents take up for their children when they are dead wrong. One that really gets me is when a parent gets upset because their child gets suspended for fighting.....SELF DEFENSE! Parents let me tell you what seems to be a secret to some....Virginia has no self defense when it comes to fighting...you hit back...no matter who starts it....both children are in trouble. Does it make sense to you as a parent? Maybe not, but street law and school law is entirely different. Maybe this is the problem. Fight at the 7eleven...police come...your going to jail. Fight at school and you may get a suspension and then you return to school when the suspension is over. Kids are not held accountable. Don't get me started about the accountability when it comes to Special Education...that is a whole different topic. Parents it takes a village to raise a child, where are we going wrong. Prayer taken out of school...cant beat your kids...children raising children....parents and drug abuse....parents and incarceration, grandparents raising grands and in some cases great grandchildren! I am scared for our generation M (new millenium). They can sang Drake "The Motto", but cant read, decode, comprehend, add,,subtract, multiply or divide....:-( Parents, help us educate our children...teach the value of education, money, respect, morals, simple manners, and the list goes on. Raise them up so that if they stray, they will not depart from teachings. You know some of our boys don't own a suit or tie? Men teach our boys to be men! Lead by example! Education is the key to success. Help us promote it. Each one, Teach one.
