It’s a shame parents are looking to the government to solve the problem of shootings at schools. I pay taxes. You do it.
It seems that nowadays the kids are always right, and the authorities are always wrong. Parents are always taking the kids’ side.
I would like to share this list of “How to Raise a Crook”: Give him anything he wants. This way he will grow up to believe that the world owes him a living. Never give him spiritual training. Wait until he is 21 and let him decide for himself. Avoid using the word “wrong”; it might make him feel guilty and his schoolwork may suffer.
Do not make him work at home. Do his work for him so he will learn at an early age to leave responsibility to others. Let him watch anything he wants so he can learn from television how to get along in the world. Give him spending money so he won’t be frustrated by having to earn it himself.
Do not make rules for him. You might make him angry with you.
When he gets bad grades, blame the teacher. When he loses his job, blame the boss. When he gets caught drunk driving, blame his friends. Let him experiment with sex, drugs and alcohol. Buy him a car as soon as he can drive.
If parents can’t discipline their kids, how can anyone else expect to?
