I read an article about kids being school-homed (raised in school, instead of at home). Many parents are finding creative ways to use public schools to take care of their kids for them, through after-school programs, extracurricular activities, or simply gross neglect. The justification being that a teacher can take care of 40 kids at once and yet this working mom can barely keep track of her only child, or that "more parents are finding that their homes are not equipped to instill the right values in their children." (ahem, talk about massive passiveness in that quote... it SHOULD read, "parents are NOT EQUIPPING their homes to instill, etc... Yes, parents, it's your fault. Let's be more active, shall we, and start blaming the real culprits...) Life skills such as proper nutrition and basic socialization apparently get neglected at home, and parents rely on educators to guide and nurture their kids.
Seriously?
Ridiculous.
Although, I did like the last sentence, and hope that school-homing parents will ponder:
"Though school-homing has proven to be an ideal solution for millions of uninvolved parents, increasingly overburdened public schools have recently led to a steady upswing in the number of students being prison-homed."
p.s. What is the world coming to?
