Shirking Responsibility
Many parents pass the care and raising of their children off to the public school system. Instead of accepting responsibility for their children by teaching them values, respect and individual responsibility for their actions, parents pawn off their responsiblity and then piss and moan when their kids run afoul of the public school system because they don’t have a clue as to proper behavior. Blaming the schools, the administrators, the teachers but never themselves or their kids. Quite different from my parents who, when I was an adolescent, made me face the music for my actions. Whether that music was a funeral dirge or a tatoo drumming me out of school. The New York Times publishes an article today entitled “Unruly Students Facing Arrest, Not Detention." Within the article we learn about the Toledo, OH school system which is arresting kids for violating the dress code, hollering at other students or cursing at teachers. All these offenses are violations of Toledo’s “safe school ordinance.”
The idoicy of this method of dealing with students should be self evident. It simply highlights the continuing decline of personal responsibilty from parents on downward. Most individuals are succumbing to flock mentality. Most people are seemingly helpless, allowing themselves to be shorn not only of their productivity via taxation but their self respect and ability to think while the states’ crook beats upon their backs or hooks around their neck, dragging them down into a deeper moronic state, with all the rest of the half-wits who make up the political blood sucking apparatus.
The only thing that people seem to be learning nowadays is how to pass the buck rather than stopping it in its tracks.
