I can't disagree, but I'd also be willing to bet that in the day when we were brought up, it only took one income to efficiently run, and fund the household. Today that just simply isn't the case. It takes two parents income to do that.
Yep, mine too. And to boot, she shopped for her veggies at the farmers market. Today we get processed bags of bulk, and frozen from the local Wal Mart. On a budget and all.
Again no disagreement here. But that is not to say that all of today's parents are like this.
Yes, that is a factor no doubt, but not the whole story. There are many contributors that play into scholastic testing, but for the rudeness among today's youth, that is a parental factor.
If I had to guess I'd bet you are a teacher? Am I close?
But I think that overall society is expecting these kids to grow up too damned fast. both parents out of the house, discipline lacking, role models left to the streets. for starters.
Agreed.
