Bollox!!!
It's the fault of the lazy uninterested parents that we have such social problems with kids. Time and again the parents have no real idea of what their kids are like and will immediately attempt to call the teacher a liar and make ridiculous accusations without first even listening to the original complaint.....
'oh no, my child is a lovely child and would never do that.' I'll agree that kids now have lost their sense of adventure but the things i discover on a daily basis are sickening.
What we have in this country is a proportion of parents who refuse to accept responsibility for their children and their actions. In doing so, it is easier for them to make excuses or just ignore their actions, to make ridiculous accusations and demands upon those who would challenge their lack of social responsibility. There are a huge amount of parents out there who actually believe that it is the schools and the educational system's responsibility to raise their kids. How many times have i heard,
'I know my rights!' from jokers who will demand everything yet expect to give nothing in return - that often includes working!
The result - a growing number of kids who can run riot without fear of punishment or any form of discipline at home. An educational system who are expected to deal with their ever increasing disruptions, violence and abusive behaviour yet are powerless to stop them. Those kids who are just trying to get by in life become targets for such scum and their life is made a misery.
Chuck - the kids of today may not make crossbows or set off pyrotechnics, but i would never have made old folks fearful, hurled verbal abuse at adults or deliberately destroyed other people's prooperty. Both my father and my mother would have
'leather'd my a r s e! ' I was no angel and when adults brought my bad behaviour to the attention to either parent, their first reaction was to accept their parental responsibility, make sure i was punished and that i made amends. Sadly this is an alien reaction to many parents, today.
That's loud.
