Sour teachers, other children with issues and so on. The last four years I've spent working in the classroom as a TA, Early Childhood Associate, program leader of an after school program, and a tutor. It's amazing how many of the parents I met didn't care about their kids. Sure they gave them all the material things, but not what really matters. Love, caring, guidance, and direction. For a majority of the students these things were lacking. One jr high kid told me she wanted to run away because she wasn't appreciated at home, but she felt she couldn't do it because she had no one to runaway too. She felt like no one wanted her. When working with kindergarten, the teacher or I often waited with this one little boy for hours after school because his mom didn't come to pick him up. He often didn't even come because his mother "couldn't" bring him. I could go on but you girls get the idea. It's heart braking.
I think having the humane society come speak to the kids is a fantastic idea! I know the SpcaLA has a program for kids and they do come talk to them about animal welfare. |
OMG that is soooo sad. I remember one time when I was in elementary school and my gpa was late picking me up like 10 mins, and I started crying and went to the office to ask if I could use the phone to call him. I can't imagine how this little boy feels.
I do agree also with whoever said the children having children thing and they seem to resent their kids. I have seen this so many times from customers at my shop. Moms that got "knocked up" by some random guy they met at a party or something, and now that they have a kid they "can't go out anymore"
. There was one little girl in particular who was very nice and cute and was talking to some other customers that she wanted to say hi to, and when they left, the little girl asked them if she could have a hug. Well her mom flipped out, and said don't act like you never get any attention at home! And then apologized to the people her kid asked for a hug from, I'm so sorry I don't know what's wrong with her.
