Until the government steps in and takes total control of the family and home, there appears to be little we as educators can do to completely close the gap. I fight illiterate and uneducated "young" single mothers daily who do not understand why their children need to behave in class or make a consious effort to learn. Unfortunately, these parents pass on those beliefs to the children I am attempting to teach. Please, please tell me how to combat this growing epidemic!
By the way, no, I do not believe the government needs to take control of the family and home . . . I was merely trying to make a point.
