My mom wouldn't ever ask me what I learned at school, she'd ask me how many times I had to correct my teachers  As badly as I want children, I really feel sorry for them having to grow up in this apathetic society. |
Despite the crap they tell you about all the "influences" on children, the buck *always* stops at home. You do it right and you always have more of an effect on your children than outside forces. My children are all adults now and some of the bitterness over their high school experiences have worn off. (Some.) They can laugh now. They say "of course I know that...but I learned it at home." My kids got their butts parked in front of the TV, too...but it was the Learning Channel, the Discovery Channel, PBS...the wealth of information available to educate your kids. Oh, and of course, the internet. And good old fashioned books. It may be an apathetic society...but you decide whether or not you want apathetic children. And when you do have kids and they're in school, volunteer for the PTA. You'll be *there* and you'll know more about what's going on in their school. Your kids will get treated differently. You kids will *know* when they've got an asshole teacher and react appropriately. They'll also know when they get a good one and make that teacher's life so much easier.
