Teach The Parents Well.

Here it comes; I am about to be politically incorrect.   With all of the problems with the American educational system, it behooves me to point out that the onus is on the wrong causation agent.   The powers that be seem to focus on poorly trained or incompetent teachers, lack of proper funding, poverty, poor nutrition, and a host of other Liberal Bogeymen.   Let me open some eyes.  I am highly educated and have worked in education for more than ten years.   No matter how we attack this urgent concern, things will never, change unless we get parents involved in the lives of THEIR children.   Now here comes the Politically incorrect moment.   With the exponential growth of the Hispanic population in the U.S., I think it is time that Hispanic parents take a stake in the future of THEIR children.  More than any other group in the U.S. Hispanics have bought into the Liberal entitlement mentality.   They have let the Liberals convince them that they do not need to lift a finger to take care of themselves, or their progeny.    Good Ol' Unkie Sam will take care of everything.   Consequently, since they have not developed RESPONSIBILTY, they are not raising their children to be responsible in school.   Since they have not developed self-RESPECT, their children do not possess it, nor do they show RESPECT for teachers and staff.   Finally, since they live in a country where they can get a house, food, medical care, and a myriad of other entitlements, they don't face the REALITY of what happens if you don't work for a living.   Wanna improve our school systems and educational processes?  Start by teaching these parents the three R's: Responsibilty, Respect, and Reality.   Schools out!
