Meni - while your recent "political awaking/awareness" is commendable please give it a while to get a little more perspective
and you really make my point again ........
You are with your child for the child's entire life!
I believe you and I both have children and we are not the primary custodial parents (I have shared custody and live in the same house with my son) and I work an amount of hours equal or above what a single parent working two jobs does
and yes I have time to be with, teach and love my son everyday
EDUCATION BEINGS AT HOME
PARENTS ARE A CHILD'S PRIMARY EDUCATION - and that's just not reading, writing and arithmetic
It's everything ..... from how they speak and treat themselves and well as others .... through table manners, how to carry themselves, how to thrive and if need be how to survive - a whole lifetime of things and thinking, learning how to learn
Passing along family, values and stories
and yes it is challenging for a single parent holding down two jobs to be there and make the time and effort, to make sure their children are in the best possible facility when they are not there and ...
.... it's pretty damn rewarding too - for both parents and children
