It's sad

The graphic below is all too true. Schools nowadays are being forced to do way too much and way too many things we are not trained or designed to do. I am a trained educator. I was not trained as a nurse, psychologist, therapist or social worker. Yet I am asked to be all those things and much, much more.

Schools today are a mess because of the breakdown of the American family. It really is THAT simple. No amount of money or social programs will fix the root of the problem. Until people wait to have sex until they're married, stay married and act like real parents, nothing will ever change. Too many broken families and too many single parents. Neglectful parents, incarcerated parents, indifferent parents, lazy parents. It's all part of the big picture... and it ain't a pretty picture.
