There are still some out there who are doing a wonderful job, and still some very good students with high morals. It takes parents to do it, who are willing to say no, not be their buddy. Mom always said, you cannot be your child's best friend. It interferes with being a good parent. I passed that on to my children, and guess what? 3 grandchildren in the top ten of their graduating classes, all college material.2 already there. It is not easy being a parent, and hard to say no, but you have to do it. I know it is not politically correct, but all went to Sunday School and Church!
Go SRSR, We still have two to go!!
