[Evans, Marv]

I never had kids. I worked in education in various capacities. During my time of watching and working with kids, parental supervision and guidance were the major factors. Some people (kids included) have the temperament to make poor decisions, but parental concern, involvement, supervision, and guidance are super important in deciding whether or not a child will tend to make a good decision in any given circumstance. It takes tenacity that some just don't have. I've seen many times where the parent(s) just didn't want to be involved with their kid's problems and actions. These kids' actions can influence and involve others. Additionally the bad teacher/bad educational system is a reality and are big players too.
