It’s a good question. Some parents are lazy and some parents are overworked and too tired to supervise properly.
You know, if you have tv and cable, you can watch many wonderful cultural things. TCM - the classic film network - is an education in culture, beauty and the American way. ME TV has the most wholesome and hilarious American sitcoms and westerns available. But you have to keep track of the best of cable and ignore the networks. Trouble is, the parents have no interest in black and white movies or films made before 1995. They have no interest in the Andy Griffith Show or F Troop or Leave it to Beaver. Sad.
“Some parents are lazy and some parents are overworked and too tired to supervise properly.”
There is more to monitor and oversee for sure. Parents have always been overworked, but you used to be able to at least have peace in the home. Now if it is not TV, it is computer, the phone, the radio or Ipod. No peace and parents must be on top of it all. Then when the kids are out, they are indoctrinated in school. Not a positive picture.
