[QUOTE="MusicalBuzz, post: 816390, member: 5555"] Thanks [USER=844]@4shotB[/USER] (and certainly more broadly to your and the other mods here to watch over the site). And, of course, no misunderstanding of insincerity or reason for any offense. re, as parents were educators: - attendance was neither impressed not suggested. Ever. It was understood with no words. Like those of us who show up for work: it just .. is - academic performance, same. I was very good. And my brother was not great. But in either case there was no parenting in that sense. re, food and shelter: - really, how many people and kids REALLY understand this . In America, sure, we compare against the rich, celebrity, politicians and entertainers (namely, of course, the entitled professional athlete). But, really, basic food and shelter is not an issue and extraordinary amounts public resources and money are devoted to this class - perhaps we should baseline conditions against , say, Haiti? ( Who from Haiti wouldn’t trade his circumstance for an opportunity here ? ). Perspective is really powerful All this to say I have little ability to understand why people will otherwise “choose” a path of incapability / dependency / failure. I understand, though, the potential is there in as a much as a disease… say, Covid? But as with it there are consequences due due to choices, plain and simple. I will offer in utmost sincerity the value of you as an educator. This is a NECESSARY model in these times and, I think, so critical for the America’s future in the sense of instilling self-confidence and will to do good. Educators simply must not fall back to tripe of victimization of oppression, entitlement and the like. [/QUOTE]
