Don’t Expect Your School to Raise Your Kid

I wish my local school would use this answering machine message. Too many whiney parents these days, always expecting their school or someone else to raise their kids for them.

    This is not a true story; although group of teachers did draft in response to frustration over school board policy and action, it was not ever actually used. Check out: www.snopes.com/humor/iftrue/palisades.asp

    Yeah - it's funny - but it does cut both ways, doesnt it? There are parents who are the good ones - dealing with brain dead schools stuck in the last century who still believe children should be seen and not heard - and being 900 years old, feel no obligation to either learn or teach new technology. The video is funny - but our education system is miserably broken.
