Kindergartners are showing up to school unprepared because too many parents aren’t teaching the basics. Schools build on what you teach, they don’t replace parenting. Parents need to step up. #parenting #kids #struggles #education

Why are you guys sending kids to kindergarten in Pampers that don't know their name? What are we doing here, America? Listen, teachers are out here sounding the alarm, because kindergartners are showing up in school, still in Pampers, not knowing their own names, and not knowing how to follow direction. And I know you're asking why it's because nobody at home ever showed them any boundaries. Parents raise your children. The world is not your babysitter. See what happens is teachers end up spending valuable classroom time to teach your child how to use the bathroom. Teaching kids how to sit down, how to listen, how to even recognize their own name. And who suffers? The children who actually have parents that invest in them, because those children have to wait until they teach your child basic things that you should have already taught your child before they even came to school. Parents, if you create a child, you have one job that is to raise them. Teach them hygiene, teach them their ABCs, how to count, how to think critically, how to follow a rule without acting like you're under attack. Those aren't extra y'all, those are basics. And let me tell you what it really says when you send your child out into the world with nothing. You're telling society that your child has no value, because if you valued your child, you would actually equip them with something. I don't want to hear from some of y'all, it's the school's job. Those schools are there to build on what you already laid. So if you laid nothing, you're not raising kids, you're just raising burden. And I'm sorry if you're not ready to put in the work to teach a child, because then you should stop making them. America do better, because children deserve to walk into kindergarten as students, not projects. Responsibility stars at home, y'all, period.
