Dear Editor,
My name is Elizabeth Jones and I have been working as a nanny for several years. I believe that kids need to be taught how to respect there parents and elders around them. Today parents are letting their kids get away with talking back and doing whatever they please. Some of the kids I have nannied recently are out of control the way they act towards their parents. Kids need discipline in order to become respectful young adults.
The problem with parents is that they let their kids boss them around and do what they please. Not disciplining our kids is turning them into rude, inconsiderate people. When they go out into the real world they believe they can still act this way. Disrespecting teachers and elders around them is not okay. Talking back and disrespecting is causing these kids to get intro trouble in other ways. The crime rate in our state has risen, and 23% of the kids from our county are in the CRJ. I have heard kids saying, "I'm 15 years old and you don't tell me what to do," and, "It's a matter of free speech." When I was younger my mother would never tolerate this.
I have helped the families I have nannied in getting their kids under control and being more respectful, but I cannot help everyone. Parents need to lay down the law on their kids. Give them chores, curfews, and make sure they are doing their homework before they go out. Setting rules like these will keep the kids in line and become more responsible. If all the parents begin to do this we will have a much friendlier community and I am almost positive crime and the kids in CRJ will descend.
