It's funny about imagining what would have happened to some of these Hippie and drug culture pioneers if they hadn't stumbled upon success. I often wonder what the state of music would be like if Hendrix hadn't died so young. He was so far ahead of his time not only in his guitar and music but studio work too.
Oh well.
Take your kids over to the local detention center and ask for a tour. It ain't pretty.
I home-schooled all four of mine.... sent the two oldest to college a year early
The single mom whose child was the object of discussion in this thread -- apparently didn't have those options....
Thanks for your input...
If I were her, I'd tell him to get a job. He has to be a man and help provide for the family. Never too early to learn that lesson. He of course would have to be clean long enough to pass the drug test. Then once the job is landed, keep him so busy he won't have time to waste puffing around with his buddies. They'll find some other idiot to ruin. Just my two cents.
