again, it is easier to blame the kids than blame the parents? Where is a child supposed to learn discipline and respect of mom and dad dont' bother??
I do blame the parents as well.If you read you will see that I said, if the parents do not care,what hope.It is a vicious cycle.Parents don't care which is why the kids then follow suit.If a parent will not take responsibility,you end up with a hope less situation.This is then compounded by the fact that no other adults,eg teachers are permitted to discipline the child.So one set of role models, ie parents are anything but, and the role models who could instill some form of discipline,in the absence of any parental involvement are not allowed.
I saw that over and over when I was working,hence the comment about waiting for the parent to reprimand the child,before finally stepping in myself.As I said ,if the parents dont care,what hope. I even mentioned how sick I was of parents who refuse to discipline.What I meant by that is that of course the parents are just as much culpable if not more so than the kids.
