[U.K. News] London, Mar 27: This might sound weird but modern parents use their kids as fashion embellishments whose real needs are to be taken care of by somebody else.
Parents are not ready to devote time in teaching their children the basic manners of every day life and at the same time are negligent about their studies. This growing concern was highlighted by Ruth Kelly , Education secretary last year in her speech which revolved around parent’s right and responsibilities.
Members of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers complaint that parents want the schools to impart all kinds of basic training and expect teachers to even provide “potty training” to kids but on the other side they leave no opportunity to give these toddlers a stylish look with body piercing, hair cuts and high fashion clothing.
“Potty training, table manners, meals, social skills, drug testing, before and after school care, sex and contraception advice become the responsibility of someone else”, Female First quoted a primary school deputy as saying.
Parents are becoming “more dependent on state intervention” and are not likely to provide even the most basic of training to their own children, they treat children as “mini-adults from the age of three”, Mr. Surman, a teacher who delivered his lecture at the annual conference of the association added.
Moreover, they shrug off their responsibilities and pass over them to someone else’s shoulder because kids for them means “burden and an interference with getting on with their own lives”.
