[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're a government family, so we've moved all over the country and a few different countries... Montgomery County astounds me in the worst way possible. Parents here seem to absolve themselves of ANY responsibility whatsoever and instead of fixing the problems at home, they get on forums like this vent and complain about other people not doing THEIR job. The amount of whining I've seen..the thread about a parent who couldn't deal with a phone call at 5:40 in the morning...grow up? I've lived in third world countries with parents doing a much better job than most of the ones here. (Obviously, I don't mean ALL parents here. Some of you are doing a great job.) But overall...just...wow. Start taking responsibility and accountability for your child. That is YOUR role as a parent. It isn''t up to teachers, admin, schools, school districts, etc. to raise your kids. That is on you or what are you even doing with children?[/quote]

Cool.  You sound like you have some answers!  Maybe you can help us parents out.

My kid does not smoke week (as far as I know).  However, she has complained that she will walk into the school bathroom and have to walk right back out because it smells so heavily of weed.  This is during the school day.

As a parent, how can I parent MY child to ensure that she has access to weed-free bathrooms at school?  [/quote]

my child has told me the same. we can’t sanitize the world for them. it is our job to prepare them for the world as it is and as it will be. i’ve told mine “wow, that is a shame. are there any non-smokey bathrooms? can you go when you’re out at lunch?”
it’s not ideal, but that’s life.[/quote]

No, mom.  Actually, several of our high school bathrooms are closed completely because our school doesn’t have enough security staff.  And our high school doesn’t have open lunch.

Any other suggestions?[/quote]
