It seems as if when they removed GOD, the chaos started. Also, if you have teachers and principals focusing on making money off of attendance, and receiving federal and state funding for what they call “special programs”, then teaching is secondary. If teaching is not a priority, then the education system will always fail the student. Children go to school to learn, not to be bought and sold. Children are at school more than they are at home, so why are the parents being held accountable? The education system needs someone to blame because of their failure to educate black children in this country. America has never wanted US to be educated and they never will.

As usual, single parent homes are the target or the escape goat. Being in a single parent home does not equate to children being unruly, dumb, and disrespectful, and it definitely does not mean that education is not valued. Remember, the mother is the first teacher. Children are not just being disrespectful to their teachers for no reason, this behavior is a reaction to an action. Parents need to know that their role in their child’s education is essential, but if you expect for a parent to do the job of a teacher, then hire the parents. Stop blaming everyone else for incompetent educators and failing schools. Look inside the schools and you will find the solution. Finally, GOD is the creator of education, but he is not welcomed at school. Really?

Change will take place when those who raise our children understand the importance of teaching our children to value education, have personal pride and respect for others. Until then, many will continue to fall down the spiral of failure in education. It is painful to admit, but it is true. We cannot blame popular culture. Parents and guardians must take responsibility for the upbringing of our young people. Until those parents stand-up, my prayer is that mentors will step in and do what some parents cannot do. We are the ones we have been waiting for, not the government or other people. We have the power to turn our children’s educational experience around. Let’s do it one child at a time.
