Marion….I am doubtful you have much experience in the field. You wrote:
If you feel this way, I feel sorry for you. Some of the most messed up kids in the world come from family’s where they do not get enough nurturing from their parents, or are physically and emotionally abused. This has nothing to do with the educational level of the parents. Parents that have a high educational level abuse, just as much as parents who only graduated high school. No diff here.
My response:
There is a difference. These are the lies they tell ya in school. In regards to domestic violence it was said “domestic violence is equally distributed among all social classes, but we see less of the higher SES because they cover it up more.” This is simply not true. People at the lower SES tend to have more problems overall, limited coping skills, and a multitude of problems. People of low SES also have less education as an overall.
This is not to say that those in the lower SES cannot raise healthy, happy and successful children. They can, and they do. Many of them raise their children to pursue education. With education comes the ability to move up a class. However, those in the higher ranks, have less external issues, such as food, housing, and meeting basic needs. Can educated people have f***ed up children? Absolutely. But as a general rule, with the exception of sex offenders, children from lower SES families tend to have a greater potential for physical abuse, drug abuse, etc. Chaotic environments make for chaotic lives. Educated parents tend to have greater communication skills, coping skills and buy into societal norms, which discourage abusive behaviors.
I agree with the poster about critical thinking. Marion, you aren’t the sharpest tool in the shed here, you’re a simpleton, and your posts reflect arrogance and entitlement. However, you do stir up a good discussion here and there, so I give ya that.
Arraya, great post. I really enjoy your well written and insightful posts, even if they are dismal. I concur with your hypotheses on many matters.
