[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] how is that a success story? Her kids are in jail. [/quote] Well, she can't change the past. But she could be on drugs herself at this point and on welfare. Instead she lives in a home she paid for herself, drives a car, in a better relationship, and hopefully her kids will benefit from her new situation as well.[/quote] It's just a weird anecdote to post in this thread about whose responsibility it is to educate kids - schools/society (as many people are arguing in the belief that the schools are bad because society doesn't care about this population and their families are completely overwhelmed financially and emotionally) or the kids and their parents (as some people are arguing in the belief that the schools are bad because the kids/families are lazy and don't care about education). So here we have a mom who completely failed (imo, you have one job to do once you become a parent - everything else is just noise) but after her kids and completely were grown and completely lost human beings on drugs and in jail, she was able to buy a house and car by being a house cleaner. Well, ok then [/quote]
