" only a look"

I have been criticized for my stance on children, childbearing and child rearing and as I in earnest prepare to take on the challenges of the classroom I have started paying close attention to the behavior of the children around me.
Working at Golden Circle Hospital has provided a whole host of examples of where the children in our society are. Manners......what is that? Modesty ....... another language? The only thing most of them get high scores for is indecent exposure.
Typical example... my colleagues are presently nursing a 14yr old patient...... whose parents complained bitterly about the severity of her condition.
Yet as soon as she is wheeled on to the unit she pitches out of the bed and proceeds to galivant all ova di blasted place. When she did return to the bed it was only to take up her lip stick and face powder.
Puppa Jesus if yuh nuh bizzi..... check eeen pon mi affor mi tempa tek mi.

Now those of us who grew up in the "one look generation " knows that our parents used to give us the ultimate fear factor experience...... as the singer said " only a look" and you would know that to continue on said path would leave our tush in a sling.
What has become of parental responsibility, social propriety?
I therefore take time out to thank the parents who take parenting seriously and commit the time necessary to guide their children to become contributing members of society.
Lord keep strong ..... Mamma bear big up ... big up .... big up.....
