Off Topic – Birth Control Pills for Children?

This is way off topic for me. But I just had to point everyone to read Angela’s post on “Offering Birth Control Pills to our CHILDREN?“.

This is really too much. Have our education system become so ineffective that we have to throw in the towel and admit that we don’t know how to teach good morals anymore? Or, since when has good morals become inconsequential? Teachers have better things to do now than to teach our children to be good?

On the other hand, parents cannot, SIMPLY CANNOT, abscond their duties to teach and raise their children properly to the school. School is where you get learnings. Home is where you learn to live. Teachers have enough challenges trying to cover the academic syllabus, where comes the time to cover the other parts of nurture which were originally done by parents?

If you consider yourself an intelligent, logical human being; then you should also realise that your children are also intelligent, logical human beings. If taught the correct values, given the opportunity to learn and grow in a healthy, positive environment; there is no reason for them not to learn the right things.

Think on this, please.

    I think the schools are trying to do what they can to make up for what the parents are not teaching their kids at home. Plain and simple. I totally do not blame the schools in any way shape or form for the fact that they are having to teach our kids about sex education as early as fourth grade. This is a result of parents not taking their roles more responsibly and the schools are left dealing with the consequences. It is a very sad vicious circle and at some point parents are going to have to step up to the plate but until then we can expect the schools to try their best at helping. Unfortunately all that happens is they get a bad rap for getting in everyone’s business.

    When I was young, moms and dads wanted their kids to like them, and became the friend instead of the parent. Look where this has gotten us? Now kids have more friends than they know what to do with, and the responsibility of teaching has been placed elsewhere. Then, we go through with “Politically correct” and “No more prayer in school”. What do we expect to happen? Education, morals, safety. These are not natural things a person will learn on their own. That is why we have parents and schools. I AM in favor of schools educating their students. I am NOT in favor of having the parents removed.

    MyStarbucks – yes, I agree with up to and until your last point. While we do support the schools in their EDUCATION efforts, giving birth control to kids to “help” them is like handing out hand-guns to kids so they can protect themselves from school bullies! That is not a solution, that is fueling the problem! They get a bad rep not for trying, but for trying the wrong things.

    Marie – exactly right!
