LACK OF PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT

THE CHEW


I recently met a young man that was 13 years old. He was an A B student at a local middle school, well dressed, and full of potential.  He has a problem with being disruptive in class. He is an active gang member, he sells drugs, and is sexually active. When I asked did he see anything wrong with how he was living his response was a simple,"No".  The student's principal also stated that they have yet to see or meet with the parent of the child and have yet to suspend him due to his behavior and no parental participation.  When threatened with alternative school the student said that he didn't care, he would continue to do what he wants to do there also. PLEASE SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON TODAYS TOPIC.
