I know how to punish poor parents...make their useless kids live at home with them....should work for MOST parents.Yeah, I don't think the pay is too low.
The schools need to stop being intimidated by idiot parents. "If you don't like how we discipline your child then teach him yourself!"
If they're not being taught at home then make the school hours longer. We've been blaming lack of parental involvement for decades and it's time to realize it will never happen.
If we make welfare, food stamps, unemployment, and minimum wage dependent on having a high school diploma, then kids will finish school. The only other choice for them will be to live with mommy and daddy til they die and leave the house to them. Got a younger brother that did just that, only worked 2 years in his whole life in the military. But to his credit, he never married or had kids and somehow lives on a small military disability check. The state will take his house when he dies as he hasn't paid taxes in years.
