Or parents could parent 😅🤔.

How do you propose they parent other people’s kids?

[–] EldritchFeminity@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 10 months ago

Ah yes, because being a good parent and making sure your kid goes to school would've certainly prevented them from getting shot at the elementary school 😅🤔.

Oy! Before you spew out shit that is frankly disgusting in the context of what happened in Uvalde, maybe think for a split-second about what you're about to say, eh?

Besides, if a whole nation continues to fail it's “tired, poor, it's huddled masses yearning to breathe free”, blaming parents for just not parenting enough is misguided at best and delusional at worst. Do you think parents just don't give a fuck when their children suffer? Do you think parents will just let their kids down and let them fall into the void that results in school shooters? No. No, they will not. But there is only so much a parent can do if the entire rest of society doesn't give the slightest of fucks. You don't have kids, have you?

In the USA, of course it happens and you wonder why people end up using guns to solve their problems. Immerse yourself into a 1st World EU country and watch how the social programs work to help people, which prevent lunatics from developing. For example, maternity leave, some countries have 3 years for each parent. The USA is fucked up in every single direction and it's all thanks to greed.

This right here. Lack of parenting is the issue . And children in school these days , their mental health is ignored and we let kids graduate despite not meeting requirements. No wonder we have such an issue with disrespect, mental health, and intelligence. We are failing a generation and its now starting to catch up
