REGARDING:
“Sorry area resident but it is the responsibility of parents to raise a child”

Area acknowledged that was the responsibility but basically called for a backup plan for those whose parents don’t raise the children. We should all agree some parents aren’t much in the way of parents. Some have values so twisted and ways so unacceptable that they can’t possibly produce good children based on their own values and ways.

The problem here, though, it that they are usually a stronger influence than the best teachers because the children have known them earlier, longer, later. Jerks raise jerks. Thieves raise thieves. Drunks “raise” drunks. Evil begets evil.

We have to deal with the problems without assuming there is a definite solution, only that there are helps which work for some.

David for better

Sorry area resident but it is the responsibility of parents to raise a child – or in our modern world – the single female’s responsibility. If you don’t want to take on this responsibility, then don’t have children – simple as that. Right now there is a meeting in Mobile explaining how “SOCIETY” can justify the 33 murders they had so far this year and find a remedy for the future. I wish them good luck! Like it or not, nothing will change until we go back to the basic morals and values you have to possess in life to be successful . .

I recognize this one from when I clerked at a convenience store.

All I’ll say is “Show me someone who has stood in front of a judge once, and I’ll show you someone who has made a mistake. Show me someone who has been to jail, and I’ll show you someone who has a history of poor decision making, regardless of whether or not they are guilty of the crime they are accused of committing.”

This is true very much so in this case.

Dear Area,
Please don’t blame all of society’s woes on “high-minded” teachers. Please do a self-assessment of what you could do to help the problems in the world today be solved.

Just sayin’….

Surely we can do better as a society. If parents aren’t going to put their parenting pants on, then our high-minded teachers union needs to at least teach our children the basics so that they can go out and get a job. There are jobs out there, you just need the desire to make something of yourself. Receiving a government check and stealing from others is not the way!
