second, what i'm saying is, and tell me if you disagree, if parents take a more proactive role in their children's education, isn't that likely to improve the statistics about drop-outs and illiteracy?? mom being at the club shaking her ass while you're struggling with math homework sounds like a ludicrous idea to defend. teachers have 32 students for about an hour, parents have less children and, often, more time spent with them. |
i apologize if i was insulting to your parents. i only meant that in this thread you said they didn't take an active approach in your education and you worked on your own and seem to care about both the education of others and any future children you might raise. i didn't mean to put them down so much as to say the credit for this would appear to rest with you. my language was poorly chosen when i should hae just said you are the one to shake hands with. the flipside of that is this daughter deserves the discredit of her dropping out.
as for the second point, of course i agree with you. it'd be damn hard to find anyone that would. i just don't think it is law enforcements roll to punish parents for the behavior of children. parents who neglect their offspring or don't end them to school when they are young are correctly frowned upon and punished. my only disagreement with you i really that i think the state's right to enforce good parenting only extends so far.
