Parents, employers and school

Parents are counting on school to do the job most of couples don't really want or care to do: Educate!

Companies are hoping that there employees are taught everything by the school they come from.

Yet, on both sides, there's a huge gap created by inflated expectations on the parent and the employer's side. Schools can't be substitute to basic, good parenting. They teach stuff, they don't nurture. Schools can only impart so much information that an employee needs to contribute to a company; the latter must also train, mentor and keep it up at all times.

We'd be a much better nation if parents prepared their kids well for school and if employers picked up and built from where the schools left of. It must also be said that if the parents' active role doesn't manifest itself before and while a kid is in school, there will be no emotional, moral and common sense education imparted on the child and this will hurt the school, the future employers and of course, the young individual.
