Do you not realize that those type parents jobs were finished upon conception of their children. What more can you ask for of them? They put so much effort that day, they are much too exhausted to take parenting to any other level...Besides, that is what government day care, and public schools are for. If only they had John Kerry to help them navigate through the educational maize we have created for these little darlings. Should we fail these kids? Well, duh! They are failures. I'd give them their well earned "F". That is what that grade is for. This is one you should submit to the Dispatch First Person column. Ashley, sweet Ashley, my dear young newbie.

Isn't it interesting all that you learn about human behavior from being a teacher! If we could only teach PARENTING classes! sometimes those quick interactions like the one you had with the inappropriate mother help explain a lot about the child, don't they! It is hard to know whether to discipline the child or feel sorry for him because he hasn't had good teachers at home -- so, you thought all you were going to have to teach was English, huh!?!? Oops -- did they forget to tell you that you would have to educate parents too! Hang in there! It is the positive impact you can make on a child's life DESPITE his environment that will keep you going! Love ya! amen sister!
