Re: local landscaper brings mexicans to Ohio to work
Its not so much the kids fault - but what is lacking in a lot of parents. We have become complacent as a nation and feel this type of work is beneath us. Maybe you can't survive on that level of wages, but it doesn't mean you should look down on that type of work.
If you don't take the time with your children to instill a good work ethic they are not going to pick one up in school. You can be just as lazy writing programs as you can be mowing lawns!
Is it our fault for not making our kids go out and get a summer job, but buying them everything they need?
I was pumping gas in a Shell station 5 nights a week from 9th grade on. It afforded me my cars and parts. It taught me to provide for myself. There are very few entry level jobs that give you a Jag to drive to work. There is a rude awakening coming for many graduates.
Today to many parents just buy their kids whatever they want just to not have to listen to it, and the kids wind up the losers in the end.
