Until every parent can work 1 or 0 jobs and provide a good life for their kids nothing will change.

don’t agree a parent can work & still teach values & discipline, back in the day the neighbors were respected & helped keep an eye out on the kids on the block

That's not our culture anymore.

And I agree with your above statement, but if parents are working multiple jobs, then they may have less time/ability to be active in their children's lives.

There were always be the cloud of personal responsibility hanging over everything, but when the system is stacked against success...
