If the parents don't raise the kid to respect the teachers, school and education in general, there's trouble from the git go.

If the parents don't keep in touch with their kids teachers, how do they know the kid didn't buy a box of gold stars at the corner store.

If the parents don't ride herd on the school board, how do they know if the money is being spent in the right way, in the right places.

Fuck that village raising your child...that's your job.

I pay a lot of school taxes. I've been paying a lot for a long time. I don't use the facilities, but I don't grumble too much because I believe in public education. Maybe a little when you get a tax break because you have spawn, but I don't, even though I spending a whole lot on those spawn.

And I more than grumble, when I see the schools wasting large sums on stupid stuff. Case in point; the high school pays consultants $500,000 to come up with a plan...wait for it.....to make the school look and feel less like an institution. That half million is just for the ideas....millions more to do it.

Maybe if the place looked and felt more like an institution, the little bastards would be better behaved.

I'm ranting, sorry.

Parents!
