Who Stole My Future
Parents agonize over their kids’ education, whether or not they will find a job, and over their safety online and in the real world. Parents worry that they will not be able to relate to their sons and daughters and wonder why their kids seem to think they know everything. Both parents and kids fear not being able to pay for college, and students fail to realize the impact today’s actions will have on their future. Some parents are frustrated and worry that their children will not take their education seriously or get enough out of it to really help them find a bright, successful future.
Business owners and community leaders worry that schools and families are not adequately raising children to become competent, capable, productive employees and members of society. They desire educated prospective employees who will represent them well. They need to know that their communities will be safe and free of crime and drugs. Thus, the very future of our society depends on the proper education and mindset of our children.
