Letters: Letter-writer unfair on 'slackers'

RE letter-writer Jim Crown on "slackers":

It's OK to be critical of adults who aren't productive members of society, but don't attack our children. How dare you have the audacity to say that children "who don't care about school not attend"?

Children's cognitive abilities at birth are limited. They have to be nurtured in order to blossom. If they aren't given the proper guidance, they'll eventually become a menace to society.

You talk about the problem but have no desire to be a part of the solution. Remember, behavior is learned - have you learned anything today?
