European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - September 19, 1980, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Page 18 the Tarsan stripes Friday. September 19, 1980 it s hard to know what to do with parents during the school year. September to june is a Long Long time. Just think of the damage parents can do in nine months of minding their children s business instead of their own. The main problem u that parents Don t have enough work to keep themselves occupied. The average adult workday consists of a smattering of simple chores interspersed Between fruitless committee meetings Coffee and Long fancy lunches in dark Steak Bouses. Though i hate to mention it for some sneaky people work is Lef s get parents out of their kids schools getting the kids off to school and going Back to tied. The real workers Don t plague their Chil Dren or their children s teachers. They Don t have time. They re too Busy holding Down two or three jobs and trying to keep from starving. Hard work clears the mind and head wonder fully. If parents had Tomc they might begin to put their children s teeny Liny academic Ca re cry in perspective. Low birth rate is also a Factor in the Parent problem. If you have six children you re Nappy just to get them out the door to school before they kill each other. If you have one or two children you Are obsessed. After All if Little Deronda is All you have and Little Deronda turns out Rotten then Whit will you be proud of the truth is the smaller the family the greater the parental anxiety. But the teachers and administrators Are also at fault. The More Parent "help.", the worse schools get. But educators keep right on drag Ging parents into the school Day. I guess they figure it s a Way to keep from getting sued or mugged you know Good or. Parents Are in Rictter sent Home after letter sent Home brain washed into thinking they owe it to their Chil Dren to have constant educational input. It u in american not to join the Pat. And the hype does t Stop with Grade school. I just heard about a Mother who was going around a College Campus helping her 18-year old daughter to Register. I suppose the Mother was worried lest any big bad College professors should try to eat the child up. And people won Der Why teachers can t gain the Confidence of their student. The wonderful irony is that parents Are fussy Only about How other people treat their Chil Dren. Parents themselves will do anything with their children including leave them in the care of illiterates or pc pubescent youngsters. They will let their children go out with sinister looking contemporaries whose names the parents Don t even know. They will let their Chil Dren spend the evening in a parking lot or a Busy Street drinking Beer and idly cavorting. Parents will dump their children at a highly educational showing of Herbic goes bananas and go play Tennis. But the children s teachers must of course be perfect. Ditto their educational  Well the Way i see it the dumbest teacher in the world is a better influence than is Hurbie. Hurbie you recollect is a car. Children thrill to the advantages of bringing parents into schools. Like most humans Young i Mao 6ette8 Pur on Comisar of Craft in Case some it. By Mike jeers want even More people to blame for their problems instead of course of blaming them selves. Students can Tell the Parenti the teacher was mean. They on Tell the teacher the Par anti did t give them enough support what you want is plenty of people to take the responsibility so nobody Lake it. I d like to get the parents out of the schools and Back at Home or work where they belong. It lab Tough. I propose for the difficult transitional period a Little parental Center in each school or University. When parents Volunteer to help or demand an explanation teachers could divert them to this colourfully decorated adult proof facility where parents could be served their Choice of juice or martinis and entertained with audio visual aids and simple crafts. Very recalcitrant parents could be sent to intensive recreational therapy where they would have to write on the blackboard 100 limes i will not  Tough resistance could be met with hard physical labor for example parents could work in the cafeteria pre paring the same non nutritional lunches they serve their kids at Home you know Mayon Naise sandwiches doritos coloured Frankfurter and such. The worst Parenti might be required to package cases of Kool Aid and orcs along with brochures about the horrors of sugar for starving cambodian children who could use a Little parental interference. A final idea but one too close to Beavon for a fallen world would be to enrol the parents in special Parent schools the minute their children enter first Grade. Parents could t leave until their last child graduated from College. The parents would Benefit by getting smarter learning Good study habits and not watching  in addition parents would be so wrapped up in their own academic careers they would t care what their children were doing at school As Long As it did t involve switchblades. Then maybe the teachers and the children could get some work done.
