I can honestly say that I wouldn't trade the cultural experiences that helped shape me through early adolescence for anything else I could have done at the time. Still, I have to admit that having parents who are non-believers decreases the chance that children will accept and spread the gospel.
Another thing that gets glossed over here, is what could happen if the stripper mom had drug addicts for friends. Could the child find drugs and bring them to school? What stories could she tell the other students? What psychological pathologies might she be at risk for? How much long-term trouble would the school be in for, e.g., if they had to consider calling child protection services? Lots of questions come to my mind that have not even been posed, much less answered.
Don't get me started... CPS would've loved a call. The woman could afford to pay for the foster care, while they held a long, long investigation. CPS needs to be investigated for child abuse.
