Children are failing because

Children can no longer follow their father?s footsteps, plow their father?s fields. If someone were to poll 3rd grade children today and ask them what they wanted be when they grow up, I think they would say policemen, firefighters, doctors, nurses or teachers; poll a 12th grader and the story changes. They are no longer children but maturing young adults who are now facing the realities of life. Stop at your nearest fast food restaurant or at your nearest grocery store and ask the patron if he or she intends to go to a college? In my experiences, they seem a little confused, not sure? What do you think? If a child while in primary education does not see a way into a higher level of education for reason of costs or proper counseling do you think this will effect they way this child learns while in school? Families are losing the glue that binds them together. More and more parents divorce, and the children are left to make it on their own. Many parents, fearing such a future, have decided not to have children at all.
