[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents are pretty lazy these days in general. Anyone who works in a school knows this. Flame away. But nothing is ever their fault or responsibility, or their kids. This is our education crisis.[/quote]

Interesting perspective. I think that what the school expects of me as a parent and what the school expected from my parents are completely different. My parents were responsible for getting me on the bus.

As a parent, I'm responsible for homework, charging chrome books, spirit days, snacks, other dress up days, and a never-ending parade of extras. I do it and I support the teachers 100% but, seriously, my parents just had to get me on the bus.[/quote]

I think you both have good points.  But I think your parents did a lot more than just put you on the bus. I’m sure they taught you basic manners, how to tie your shoes and personal responsibility. I also think today’s parents have a lot more school related responsibilities then they did in the past.

I also think the overall message here is that some parents no longer do any parent at home teaching. It started off as big stuff like sex Ed , Which I was always surprised to learn that some parents didn’t bother teaching the kids. And now it’s basic little things like handwashing, properly brushing your teeth and tying your shoelaces. The state is raising the kids, people just pop them out. [/quote]
