        Education is certainly underfunded, but I don’t see how you can blame toxic kids and parents on that. Sounds more like a symptom of a couple of generations of atrocious parenting to me.

          Part of the reason toxic kids and parents exist is because administration doesn’t support teachers either. It’s an entire system of issues.

        Bro, you can ‘fund’ it as much as possible and children are still going to behave like animals if they don’t have any home training.

          just strange I suppose that you don’t see this is systems where the education is better funded. granted it might take a few generations to really take hold. but funding education should be obvious.

      Yeah. A lot of the shitty parents had kids at a very young age this generation and we’re seeing the repercussions of that.

      You need to be able to take care of yourself before you can take care of someone else.

      I wouldn’t be surprised if we start seeing more kids raised by their grandparents because their actual parents are shit.

        I’d actually hazard a guess that on average, parents are older these days. I don’t think the issue is really young parents, it’s that parents don’t discipline now. They just shove a screen in front of their kid instead of having a meaningful conversation. Parents now were raised with somewhat instant gratification and it’s even worse with their kids.

        What?

        People used to have children at 18 (or earlier), most people now are waiting until their 30s if at all.
