I had a choice to make and I decided to not waste my daughter's future. I am not wealthy. I am educated. Due to advances in technology I was forced out of my profession into a lesser paying "blue-collar" line of work. It has not been easy but I refuse to sacrifice my child to an over blown, over staffed, politically motivated, social experiment. Being in this situation I do not feel it is right that any of my tax dollars be spent on these detention centers. Education is a responsibility of the parent to the child, and of the student to himself. It is not a right, it is an obligation. Our public schools are an ever expanding failure that multi millions of dollars have aided in creating. If the government is to do any thing it should be to enforce the obligation, the law, that parents have to their children and to society. Our schools need accountability and discipline, not more wasted dollars. The teachers should BE RESPONSIBLE to fail FAILING students. They should BE OBLIGATED to dismiss children who are disruptive to the students who are trying to become educated. The teachers should not be told they have to pass all the children regardless of performance. Then when these parents have failed their own children and their neighborhood schools (society), they shall be held accountable. Our public schools should not provide six-figure incomes to football coaches nor the market place of drug abuse. They should not provide five assistant principals nor contraceptives for teens and younger. My daughter's values have been and will be learned at home. Our schools and our government are not our Mothers and Fathers. Do we not love our children or ourselves enough to do what is right? Money is not the answer and these kids are not political footballs. If we don't accept our duty to our children, then this society will be lost, and then how will you get your social justice?<br /> Richland County SC Tax PayerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8546852745854877350.post-19974301556551789862011-06-30T02:21:37.445-04:002011-06-30T02:21:37.445-04:00Schools - pah!
