These days most parents don't even fully raise their kids, technology does. Got 4 year olds knowing how to fully operate a smartphone.
Education starts in the home. Especially in the early years when good habits are formed. But that doesn't mean that it has to stop or things can't change. My homegirl decided to put her daughter in a high school a bit further away since the one near her where my brother went, as well as her, her brother, and her niece, wasn't too great of a school. So instead of going to a bad school, she got sent to a better one. Both schools have almost 50% Hispanic kids which she is. While the one she goes to is 40 to 10 white to black and the other one is the opposite but that's due to the area it's in. Both are in the suburbs so not like either school is in a bad area. Ok so going to a better school would guarantee better results right? WRONG!! This girl already done got like two F's on her report card and she just started. I only got one F my entire high school career and that was algebra senior year and I think it was on an interim report.
Morale of the story is, you can put any kid in the most prestigious private school, you can even send them to Harvard. But if the willingness to learn and the education in the home isn't correct, then you ain't doing shyt for them. I'm doing my best to teach my child if and when I have one, before they go to school so they'll be ready. Can't be raising no fools out here.
