That REALLY pisses me off, however, it makes me feel that much worse for the children. It seems to me "parents" like that are very likely all about themselves. There is little doubt in my mind these kids are getting the brunt of this lifestyle. If they are horrible children to teach, then my blessings to you. I hope it doesn't come off shortsighted but have you thought of moving to a different city/district? Better yet a different state. What STATE do you live in if that is ok to ask?

Nothing will change unless we redo the welfare system. I do believe people should be able to get a helping hand in times of need but way too many people are abusing this system. Hard working folks are paying for their laziness and getting tired of it.
However I do believe there will be repercussions because generations have grown up dependent on the government and now they feel entitled to it. So sad! I still say let them figure it out. They need to start taking care of themselves not the rest of us.
