Education, Your Child, Their Future

How is your child's education going? Can she/he write; can you read it clearly? Can they add, subtract without a calculator. Can they multiply up too a certain point without a calculator? They should be able to these by the 2nd grade... Are you, their Parent, helping them with their homework every night or at least looking at it after they are done and help them with their mistakes? If you yell at them for making a mistake, you have just failed them! Don't do that...

If you are thinking that the school is going to take care of all their education needs, you are 1,000% wrong on all levels. By second grade, their penmanship should neat, legible, and show some growth with each completed homework assignment. If you see where they need help, do NOT tell them you will help them later or to figure it out, YOU are Flunking your own Child from the start, at Home... Get off your butt and help them NOW... You are home from work, turn off the computers, put down the cell phones and help your kid(s) with their education and all learning needs. Don't be like the mom I heard today outside a library tell their child that she/he got a book to read yesterday and not going to get one today too... Don't put limits on the learning of your child...

Why I am writing about this is? It's because your child(ren) are our future and you are totally responsible for that little person's education now for their adult life... Everyone complains about the state of the country, from lack of jobs too continues budget cuts. Your little person will either be homeless due to lack of education to not have a bright future or they will be part of the team that will repair where we are today. I see all these little people running around and many of them can't write, do math, comprehend the information they just read and it is a truly frightening thing... I'm being blunt because being nice and polite isn't changing anything!!!!!

So, what are you going to do? Are you going to spend more time helping your child(ren) learn all they possibly can so they can be Awesome, Fabulous, Smart, Fearless, Future Hunting Adults that will make you cry when you see all they've achieved? Or are you going to continue spending more time on your cell phone, computers, planning lunch dates with people and assume your child(ren) are learning enough to lower then average adult life? Well, then, turn off this computer and get to teaching your child(ren) all you can!!!!
