October 2

It has been a month since I have posted anything here.
We have been in school for almost a month. It seems as if all are settling down. It has been fairly smooth at school with no major problems.
There are some students who are having a difficult time with absences. This is a huge problem for all involved. Students miss class and get behind. Students do not want to make up work or are unable to make up work. Students lose. Who wins from this behavior? No one. And parents, why is this acceptable?
My mother would have killed me for skipping school. She did for many months and finally got caught. She paid a price for that. But nowadays students have to have a high school education to get any kind of job. Streets are rough, drugs are prevalent, video games absorb the spirit of some. Why?
I am not going to complain what was, because, it solves nothing. However, adults have to become more involved in all aspects of young people's lives. Why? So each can learn. If you cannot spend time, meaningful time, with your young person, you need to seriously reevaluate your lives. Everyone needs money to live but we do not need everything in the world.
At this end, I will stop for today.
