You’re generalizing a little bit, but I can tell from your profile that you do that. I forgot that you are the one that hates American women. I’m sorry, I simply can’t relate to foreigners well enough to marry them
The military and jails have to deal with these same people, yet they do, and quite successfully overall (i.e., go to a prison some time and you’ll see what I mean regarding behavior).
Schools can do the same, but CHOOSE not to. In some states, like here in Texas, they can practically whip the kids who misbehave...but there is a big problem, they schools CHOOSE to not do so. Instead they CHOOSE to ‘mainstream’ those kids and wreck it for everyone else. They can simply say to the kids, something to the effect of: “We don’t care what happens out there, when you’re here, you sit down, shut up, and pay attention. And if that is asking too much from you, we promise that the next time you sit down, it will be painful.” It’s incredible how quick kids can behave if they’re given some no-nonsense rules. Except for the relatively rare cases of kids being pregnant, sexually abused, or physically beaten, blaming the parents is simply an EXCUSE for the educational system, and I am very surprised that someone who claims to home school can’t realize that.
And yes, the curriculum make a HUGE difference in the attitudes - if the kids are LEARNING something, they at least see a reason for being there...and if they’re taught to read before they’re 16 they will be a whole lot happier.
And since EVERYONE knows that phonics is the ONLY way to teach reading that works, I sure as hell do believe that schools go out of their way to teach Jack.
Sorry if my tone bothers you, but I have to work with a lot of products of public schools, and most of them have good parents (as far as I can tell).
Sorry, I was off-line and crossed up my reply with another. As to American women...all I say is that it’s simply a probability game and I chose to play the odds. There are plenty of good American women, and a guy has about a 50% chance of having one after marrying the person. For foreign-born women, it’s about 90%. I have enough drama at work and simply chose to play the odds. As I’m sure you know, LOTS of other guys do exactly the same...and if you want to blame the men for the stacked odds, feel free, but things will NEVER change as long as the men continue to be blamed for the mess that we have.
