How is a young person to come to the understanding that s/he is preparing to be a responsible citizen? How many children have you worked with? I could not get my own children to understand the importance of their education, nor can get my grandchildren to understand the importance of their education.
We are facing a global crisis with populations exceeding resources, and I don't think there is one town the whole US, that is living with this reality. How many of you know what expotential growth is? Does your city manager and major understand expotential growth and its relationship to resources? Do you know how full your schools will be in the next five years? Is your hospital adequate for another 10 years? How well is your water supply and sewage system doing? How active are you in local governing decisions, and what have your children learned from you about their future responsibility? I spoke of local responsibility, but with world markets, our decisions effect the world. Is anyone in your family prepared to step into a national conflict and negoiate peace? Have you been able to convince a child, any of this is important and comes close to being something s/he is responsible for?
You seem to be saying we have a duty but does everyone on volconvo agreement that we have responsibility and duty? This forum is about Society & Rights. The concept of duty doesn't exist. I have requested the word "duty" be added to the word rights, for over a year and that request is igoned. If the adults can not understand the importance of duty, how can they teach their children, and if they are the only voice speaking for duty, why should a child pay any attention to them?
I AM NOW SPEAKING ABOUT THE MOST IMPORTANT EDUCATION QUESTION. OUR CULTURE HAS GONE TO HELL AND PUBLIC EDUCATION LEAD THEM DOWN THE PATH
