 Quote From: ksm_wvr I have lots of questions for you. Why do you find it necessary to talk about a childcare book or books and not give any quotes or name these books? Maybe you could help someone by swaying them away from those books that have false information or information that may be making their situation worse. Instincts have nothing to do with parenting in my opinion. Having preset morals and values are what I believe parents should be equiped with by their parents. Parents should be held accountable for not providing such things. How? You might ask. By having someone like a school phycoligist come and offer assistance for the family. Which I think it would be very benificial to both of these ladies and the families involved on todays show. I have had 2 of my 3 children go through kindergarten thus far. Each of them brought home a paper asking my permission for my child to participate in a program that will be teaching then about improper touching. I signed that paper both times giving my permission. When they came home they had a coloring book that had all the information I needed to help me talk to them about it also. I did just that. Parents have to get involved and build trust and moral values to let each child know that this behavior is wrong and they can trust you to protect them from it. Education is part of that protection. Can you provide a news paper clipping or other form of evidience that supports your statement, "even a teacher can get in trouble for patting a student on the back for a "Good Job." ?" You say, "it's not always a choice whether or not to stay home now." Are we as parents not the ones who make the decisions of how the family budget is set? Are we as parents powerless when it comes to limiting our kids accessability to the down falls of our society? My answer to both of those are NO NO NO! Parents have to be held "accountable for allowing thier daughters to go to school dressed like hookers."" By the school not allowing it. Sending the student home is not the answer. Calling the parent at work and bring it their attention is what has to be done. If that parent is lacking parental strength, then help must be offered and available. Also if that parent is uncooperative, then that parent(s) have to find another school for their child to attend. We have to be willing to step up and stand up for all, not just one. Imentioned childcare books because, and hey its only an opinion, they all offer conflicting advice as do people like Dr. Phil and others, I didn't realize I needed to cite these things, Dr. Phil dosen't belive in say co-sleeping, where another positivly SWEARS it is necessary to raise a well adjusted child, JUST AN OPINION!!!!! Instincts have nothing to do with PARENTING, I beg to differ there. Like ALL animals we do respond to a child in distress without thinking twice (or at least I would hope we do), all mothers LEARN rather quickly the difference between the hunger cry and the change me cry, that is instinct. We KNOW our own babies form another, from their cries, and yes that is INSTINCT, and getting to KNOW our own children and accepting them is instinctual behavior. Morals and values are good don't get me wrong, but who is one person to say yours are right and mine are wrong ? If your school is being SPECIFIC about good vs. Bad touching , GREAT that is a good step, but that has to be reinforced at home as well, By the way, Tickling can be seen as a form of abuse as well, just to let you know, and no I am not citing sources right now. As for the pat on the back, it has happened in my local schools and I am sure it has happened in others. As for NOT being a choice to stay home, I submit to you the single parent, Guess all single moms should just stay home on welfare huh ? Or how about the working poor ? Have you NOT been around the families who are working for FOOD, CLOTHING and SHELTER and have little if anything left over ? Yes we should determine the budget, but you know sometimes there just ISN'T ENOUGH no matter how hard you crunch the numbers, I concur there are those that work only to get the bigger house or nicer car, but that dosen't reflect the majority of duo income families, at least I don't think so. You only CONTROL what your children are exposed to around you and in YOUR home, when they go other places, while g-rated movies are all you allow, another parent may see nothing wrong with pg 13, see its all in the opinion of others I guess. The city of Halifax had tried UNIFORMS, and guess what, the PARENTS were the ones that screamed about individuality and freedom, a lot, not all mind you of the kids thought it was a good idea, white t-shirt with the school logo and navy blue cargos, nothing painful to wear at all. But as for citing sources, you know what, there are very few who would take the opinion of a person they have never met, and therefore would do it anyway, go to any bookstore, it seems the info is endless, and much of it conflicting. |

By "giving a break" to students... we are in fact GIVING A BREAK to their parents. I am a teacher, and have been for 6 years, as is my husband. Somehow we have to get back to holding children, (especially high schoolers) accountable for their deeds. Those students should NOT have been WATCHING the porn. Where were their parents while these students needed role models? Why were parents not watching and advising their students regarding "movies"? Instead these children are setting porn stars as role models instead of REFORMED people who have made something from their former mistakes. |
