What lesson do parents think their children will learn if they take up their phone because they got low grades on a report card?
By twentieth century meanings, a "parent" is someone promoted to
their level of incompetence. Later in the C21, we will have parents
who psychologically and educationally know about child-care and
child development. In the meantime, introduce your parents to
modern technology. Talk and fax school work over the house phone.
Team-work electronically was impossible when these "parents" were
created. Teamwork each answer with your fellow students. Show the
smartphone email/ sms on another students phone. If you have a
Windows-mobile smart-phone, put dictionaries, a thesausus, the
chemical periodic table, the bible, a calculator, alarm clocks,
timetables, and encyclopedias on it. One day you might be able to
then educate your parent how to do their job better.
