so they can make sensible choices.

Parents need to get off the dime and get to work and stop
whining about public education. ...
Yes that's what we did as well as taking time to work
with our children making sure they knew what was expected.

Very well written, QwkAg...dunno if it was "simpler", "easier", or
less frantic when we were raising our kids, but parents need to
step up and get Johnny and Jill back on track, imo. Time outs, appeasements,
trading FaceBook time for hitting the books, etc., is not the answer.
Otoh, I am glad my parenting is basically over.
