Something I would like to discuss is the lack of involvement in our educational system both with the students and parents. I realize that there are many parents that aren't available because of obligations towards their family, but those that can be actively involved and chose not to be are really just sad. Besides our schools getting support from parents financially, the students that go to the schools need their parents to be involved in their education. Once a parent gives up on their child, the child is almost guaranteed to give up on themselves and that is a fact we need to change.
Something my Mother discussed with me is the danger of our streets and it is meant to be taken literally. She believes that our streets are unsafe in the sense that we don't have enough sidewalks for our citizens to walk on. She understands that with people walking on the actual street where cars are meant to drive is much more unsafe than walking out of range from where vehicles are passing by.
I agree with your mom about the low safety on the streets. The lack of sidewalks in neighbor hoods and on major streets, such as Washington St., is unsafe for the younger children walking to school. The amount of sidewalks that the construction workers have recently put up were not enough. They need to place more sidewalks.
