Saying that parents MUST take more responsibility for their OWN children is NOT at all the same thing as accepting or justifying incompetence in our school system.

It is acknowledging that LACK of parental support is part of the REASON schools are incompetent.

I would have to venture an "educated guess," that a great many of the FORUM

members would be among the most resilient ADHD individuals on this planet.

Just sayin

And I went all the way through our educational system, raised in suburbia hell(though I had a blast with it all in retrospect) up to just short of a masters. Studied everything from psychology, sociology, economics and philosophy as I could in the time allotted because I wanted to understand as much as I could in all the arrays of human life and perspectives as I could. And I learn every day, as we all should do. In order to, unintentionally at the time, but through great fortune, I realized I was here to say things and learn things about this world to give others a new perspective; though it's costing me my reputation in this society... And, in turn, to gain new lessons and perspectives of my own. All I want to do now is to help others understand the reality around them and help them through this ridiculous excuse for a civilization, but I haven't learned enough yet about how to accurately communicate what I know without negative side-effects when I only have good intentions... Thinking about starting with stand-up, if I can figure that out emotionally.

And this writing might be a bit too invasive to some of you, and I'm sorry, but I haven't learned that concept yet as it relates to emotional sensitivity...it's just an inefficient use of our time(to me), but if not done correctly will cause more time to be taken for emotion side-effects to wear off. Thus; back to square one. So I apologize, and hope to learn something from you by any constructive criticism necessary.
Personally I hide my messages inside entertaining science fiction plots. My main qualm isn't with the social system (although it is a little bit) but with digital media and how it changes the brain. Funny how we get stuck on one issue.
