Judged: 6 2 1 For example, how any parent can raise their kid without a firm grasp of how simple concepts like credit and compound interest can make or break their lives in the future is beyond me. School is only part of the solution/problem, and if parents aren't involved enough it's just a recipe for failure. |
Judged: 1 I'm more interested in seeing scientific studies of what actually is than what people think. |

Judged: 6 4 3 The individual student and their parents also have to put in from their part. I cannot even tell you how many of my students have failed time and time again but parents and students only care when it comes time to meet eligibility for sports or 4-H or when the year is over and they realize that they are not passing. I know that my job as a parent is 24/7. Despite getting home from work tired--and believe me, teaching is a challenge--I keep working with my own children making sure that they get their homework done and making sure that they are understanding their work. I will admit, that Math is difficult or me and that I have to rely on the older ones from time to time to help but we always keep a positive attitude. I also understand that there are kids that don't have the luxury of caring and understanding parents. I even have friends that are teachers that are upset with their children's homework and state, "I'm not the one getting paid to teach them." Is this the attitude we should take with our children's education? I can only imagine those deadbeat parents that are too busy doing their own thing. Poor kids that have to suffer. They never get to learn the value of education. And as a teacher of Seniors, you cannot even imagine how many kids I've see that have no support at home. They have no plan for the future ... no idea of what they are going to do ... and their parents don't even bother to ask or help them. We, the teachers and counselors, try our best with them but we cannot run their lives. We cannot complete financial aid applications when parents don't want to provide necessary income information. We cannot do their college applications if they cannot provide us the money to pay for those applications. In case most don't know, college application fees are now outrageous. So, please do not blame us for the kids not mapping out their lives. There is only so much we can do within our means. I have so much faith in the public school system of our country. It is the same education system that my husband and I both went through. Both of us came from minority, poor families. But the one thing that made us push ourselves was our parents. Education was first and that's what everyone needs to emphasize. |

Judged: 1 1 1 They refuse to discipline their children, they refuse to play with them and they inflict them on other people. Unfortunately, this generation of children are being set up to be the dumbest, laziest and least capable generation ever. We have enough people on the face of this earth, if you cannot dedicate your life to raising your children properly then get permanent birth control. |

Judged: 3 3 1 Public schools should not be allowed to teach more than they can prove. To ask our children learn more than what can be proven, is to ask them to learn more than we know. For instance; things like evolution. Anything that the schools cannot prove, should not be taught in our public schools. The kids have enough to learn without all that. |

"without all that" therein lies the answer
