Yes, whatever happened to the concept of parents teaching their children how to be respectful and kind to others?
For many parents, it disappeared when they dropped 6-week old Johnny or Janey at the daycare center. At that point, the inconvenience some call a kid became someone else's problem, right?. After daycare, it was into the government schools. My kid must be learning. He's in school, isn't he? Hey, this is great! Now I can focus on my career and get more stuff.
Johnny is misbehaving? Here's some ritalin. Johnny isn't learning? - poof - A "D" is a "B". Don't worry Mom and Dad, we will take good care of our...I mean your... kid - fill his brain with all the right stuff. You just leave it to us. And if things get a little out of control, well, hey, we'll have a group hug.
