It's almost like society doesn't value traditional family values anymore. It's like, you know, the decline of a civilization, like what's happened over and over again when a society abandons a moral baseline. If only we could point back to all of the examples of that happening in the past, or just ******* read the writings of the Founders.
I don't get this, I just don't. I graduated high school and college both with honors. I was taught school is important. I missed maybe 3 classes in college in 4.5 years. I learned early on, if I was in class, took notes, and did mild studying before tests, I'd do well. And I did.
My oldest is a junior in HS. He has a 4.64 GPA (hasn't had a B since early middle school). He just got his PSAT results yesterday - a freaking 1440! That's top 1% in the country. I am in awe.
My 14 year old 8th grader is a straight A student.
I just don't get parents that don't instill the value of education with their kids. It's hard, but it's not that hard. It really is not.
