Posted on: Hundreds turn out for anti-gang walk-a-thon

I know Jerry Simon and I respect the work that he does. I've worked with young people for 38 years and I can tell you that all the slogans and advertisements won't change a thing. It's the parents, stupid. Figure it out.

But the partents don't want to be reminded of this fact. Would you? It's so much easier to blame society, or "The Man", or the schools than it is to take responsibility for raising your own child. Pathetic, if that.

God help us.

Posted on: Bring your own supplies

What people seem to forget is that modern day schools already assist parents with services that were unthinkable in past times. Schools transport, clothe, feed, babysit, counsel, and provide medical services. If it is necessary for parents to chip in a little during lean times, then they should gladly do so. Or maybe the schools should cancel all transportation, free lunch, medical services, school bell, etc. Then the money would be there.
