God gave the responsibility of training offspring to those who brought them into the world. (See Duet.6:7; Psalm 78:3-6; Prov. 22:6 . Many parents are not doing rheir job, it is not the responsibility of the government to educate our children, it's our job!!! All the important things should be taught and reinforced in the home! Problem is, many-most are not raising Godly children!!! We are reaping what we have sewn! For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? — Matthew 16:26

It takes more to being a parent than just having children. A perent is the first teacher a child ever has. If you want your children to learn read, read to them, instead of telling them to get you the ball tell them to get it to you by color. When your driving ask them to count how many blue cars they see. Don't use baby words, increase their vocabulary. These are just explains of teaching a child before they even know they are learning. The DOER, thanks for being straight forward. I couldn't have said it better myself! The Doer,

If that means you need to spend two hours a night going over skills that should have been learned in the 2nd or 3rd grade, then so be it. Parents need to take responsibility. Parents need to know what their kids' skill levels are. Teachers and parents can work together to make sure learning is taking place, but parents have a much greater impact than a lot want to admit!
