I'm so tired from the days work that I can't do your response justice. I agree wholeheartedly with everything you said. My children notice when they see other children being disrespectful, they notice when they make poor decisions, they point out when they're being exposed to agendas that are against our values. We home school so it's less of a fight than it could be, but their friends still impact them a lot.
I can not imagine having children and letting them be raised by the government. I know you said it's the economy and the other parents have to work, but do they really? Private school is an expense that isn't necessary. And you can downsize to make it work. I guess I'm of the opinion that you can make it work no matter what, you just have to have the right priorities and be willing to do without.
So I just learned that they were raised in daycare and when daycare stopped and kids started staying home, the mother had no control of the kids, she didn't know how to handle them. These kids are just kids & I'm not saying they're terrors, but kids should listen to their parents & parents should not have to repeat themselves. This is a good kid! It was easier for the mother to go to work than have to raise her kids.. so now the kids learned no respect for their parents and, well, so now her kids' future opportunities are stunted. Other kids are much more likely to be high-functioning than they. If you have no respect for your own parents then this is already a pretty low start!
That's sad. I hope they manage to be graced in their lives and they don't completely spiral into being like the majority.
Life really seems like such a crap shoot. I feel sorry for people who gobble up the propaganda and don't think. They didn't have the fortune to have someone or something in their lives to make them think outside the public approved box.
That box is so powerful like never before.
