I take no prisoners when it comes to parents!in the Dojang. The good ones we do all we can for them and we really try to have entire families train together. For all the talk most kids and teenagers really want to have adult participation especially parents.
However there are many bad types but lets drop the ones that the kids have no parents or thier parents have substance abuse and other issues. The other bad parents are the never say no, give them anything they want with out earning it, my kid is always right it's the rest of the world that has a problem. Maybe its different for you but for me home school parents are the worst. The majority shelter thier kids from public school and any activity they deem threatening to thier childs well being. Any teacher that atempts to give them structure or dicipline is eliminated by these parents. Thier kids wind up developing with out social skills, conflict resolution and many other delayed or learning disabilities that make it diffulcult to set and obtain goals as adults. These spoiled kids wind up being obese, with organ failure as young as 5 years old, some with out any life skills that gives them any fight chance at basic or adult education.
Sometimes with much patients it is possible to educate and involve these parents over a long period of time and become part of the process when they see the physical and mental progress thier kids make from the TKD training. One thing I will not do is allow parents to tell me how to teach period take them some place else. In the end its not worth the kid quit or become dangerous and you have to kick them out. So some times no parent is better than having parents.
I even put these comments in our newspaper here and I get about 90% agreement at least to the people who stop me on the street. We have alot of problems with theft and vandelism and I advocated in the paper that adults need to stop just looking the other way or calling the cops who are too overworked. Jump out of your car and handle it right there! One of my business associates a respected man of the community later spotted kids about to spray grafity on a historical church here the city spent $4 million restoring. He jumps out of his truck and yells, Hey you little ***** I'm going home to get my hack saw and when I get back if any of you MF's are here I'm gonna cut your bikes in half. Needless to say they have never sprayed paint anywhere again. Now I understand that won't work in Oakland but each community does what it can.
Does it never cease to amaze any of you that a Parent wants to punish the instructor by pulling thier kids out of class??? Oh Yeh let them sit home stuffing thier face watching TV or playing games. They punish thier own children due to thier issues and the kid goes down the tube, fat, stupid, and delinquent boy you got even with that instructor??
It's not just MA its in our schools nation wide and the teachers cannot teach and are being forced to be councelors and parents.
WE NEED CORORAL PUNISHMENT!!!!!!! NOT FOR KIDS BUT FOR PARENTS!!!
I SAY SLAP THE PARENTS NOT THE KID!!!

If you point to a religious factor, many of us are not religious; I myself would align more with spiritual without the organization of religion. My church is the world; as is my classroom. Homeschool students are not under socialized. We often make friends with children in our neighborhoods and actually have an easier time of making friends. Being self-directed in learning will also lead to self-direction in social situations. We have not been tainted by the hands of underpaid and tired teachers, (I am not disrespecting teachers, and my parents have both been teachers in the public system. Having to put out "fires" all day and try to act as a stop-gap for parents made them quit), or children from homes that are broken into shards....name your cliché... My main point is, "Don't dis the home educated "G"
