America's Disrespect of Children: Prompt September 3rd Response

I would have to agree, many of Americans do disrespect children.  A majority of parents or guardians of children that I know and have met always want to pawn the children off onto some one else whenever they can get the chance.  Yes sure they love their kids, but that behavior to me shows that they really don’t care much about what they are exposed to.  Even in schools, yes the teachers and maybe the principles cares about the children, what they learn, and how they are doing altogether, but anyone in higher positions only care in the money for the school.  They are not even giving a moment’s thought into the children or how it will affect them.  They only worry about themselves and how they can possibly save money.  Like removing programs that give the children a variety of things to do.  I remember from when I was in school from elementary on, I saw drastic changes in the schools for the years after me.  Like right after I graduated from elementary school that school removed the hour program we used to get to go down to the library and get a book read to us and check out some books to read.  It was a good little program for the kids, but they cut it out because they didn’t have the funding for it.  It felt like the kids were getting their rights taken away from them that they disserved. 

            I do also believe that it doesn’t make a big difference whether you are wealthy or poverty stricken disrespect happens all across the board.  In the world of poverty you are living to make ends meet and when you through a child among it they tend to get left out.  This may be because the parents are always working or they are always fretting on making it by and so the child may go with out certain major things in life.  Yet, a similar thing happens where children get left out, in the wealthy families too.  It may be because the parents don’t want to deal with the children so they hire a nanny or maybe they are just to busy with their own stuff they don’t stop to focus on the kids at all. 

            Yet, I do think there is a very minuet amount of people out there some that do love and respect their children.  I just think that the group is so small they are not being herd or respected them selves.
