I do not agree with the statement that Americans do
not love their children, but I do feel that they do have their priorities and judgment
mixed up. In this fast past life with people struggling to keep afloat children
have been dropped on the priority list. Class rooms are a classic example when
the number of students per teacher has increased and the budget cuts have
gotten rid of aids and assistants. They have instituted a No Child Left Behind
Policy that in reality is hurting instead of helping. The focus has been placed
on the funding. Does this mean we don’t love our children? No, but it shows
that the importance placed on education the future leaders of the country in
not top priority.
Some people
have a tendency to assume kids are bad just because of the way they dress or
wear their hair. It is apparent that not all kids are given an equal
opportunity. The American people need to be more supportive and less quick to
judge.
In order to provide shelter, food, and clothing for
their children many parents are working two or more jobs. That means many kids
are on their own when it comes to completing homework and succeeding at school.
