TUESDAY MCCW ON WEDNESDAY

SORRY TOO BUSY YESTERDAY SO CATCHING UP TODAY.

Topic: The Home

What is the responsibilities of the home? Ever thought about it? Yea, I'm talking about education again but really more than that. How about "yea" and "naw." Shouldn't it be a responsibility for the parent to teach a child to say yes, no or yes sir, no sir? Never mind that the job that a young person is interviewing for is in the balance, just the image a child presents is important. Yes it is the responsibility of the family to train their child.

Let's just cut to the chance. You guess it, list time.

Things that a family is responsible for for children:

1. Provide meals for a child.

2. Provide a place to sleep and do home work.

3.Provide materials for the child for school.

4. Provide transportation for a child to school and I don't mean their own car.

5. Provide the basic training that leads to respect for authorities.

6. Provide discipline to guide to self control.

7. Provide proper fitting clothes.

8. Provide proper preventive measure to keep a child below the age of 18 from getting tattoos that are ugly as mud or body piercing of a heathen manner.

9. Provide proper medical care.

10. Provide proper mental care.

11. Provide a good example for your child to follow after.

Now if a family can't do these things then:

1. Get yourself fixed!

2. Get yourself fixed!!

3. Stay away from people who are not fixed!!!

The problem in public school is not the terrible teachers, there are some, not the lack of materials, not the lack of support from the community, but the failure of the family to train the children and hold them accountable for their behavior. Where we in this state are failing is by basing the funding for public school on the number of student in attendance, the classroom each day. This forces the school districts to try to keep complacent, rude, disrespectful, defiant children in the classrooms with students that want an education. This is preventing the very best education for each child. Schools are being asked to do the job of the parents, cops and mental medical portion of society.

Anyway you look at it, the child looses and those of us that meet our responsibilities with our children loose.
