[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1536496, member: 24816"] You are right BR, there is a lack of skill, among many of the folks. I can speak from first hand observations in this county and several east of here. It seems to be an unfortunate reality that many who are or have become " well to do" are very quick to lament or complain about those who are not. The way I see it many can not help their situations because they were born into it, generation after generation. I have seen a few rise above but it can be extremely difficult. Education is in my mind a major difference maker, but only useful if a student takes advantage of it and the opportunities that accompany it. So many parents don't see the importance of school and don't care if the children go or not much less what they accomplish while there. It becomes basically a daycare or warehouse instead of a learning institution all the way through high school. I believe that this scenario is hurting students who try to learn because teachers cannot just teach instead they are constantly dealing with lack of discipline from a percentage of students. I attribute drugs, alcohol, as a major factor in perpetuating the problems. I have recently come to see tobacco as a gateway into the other as well.So many in those circumstances spend so much on cigarettes, rather than on beneficial things for children. Then in turn children start smoking or chewing at very early ages in plain sight of parents. [/QUOTE]
