RE: Where did we go wrong?

in Reflections24 days ago

Screens are not only a problem for children, but also a problem for parents. Most parents nowadays prefer to entertain themselves rather than dedicate time to helping their child with a school activity, or even giving genuine attention to what they need. It's a sad reality, but as a mother, I tend to notice how my daughter's behavior often differs from that of her peers at school simply because I limit the amount of time she spends on screen and encourage her to read from an early age. I'm curious about what the future will be like, with children becoming more and more dependent and not learning the basics that their family should teach them. Unfortunately, there are parents who think that it is only the school's role to educate, when in fact the school should be an extension of what happens at home.

Very well written! I agree with all of this. Sadly, parents are even starting to expect schools to handle the non academic pieces for their children as well.
