Ok, parents and grandparents granted, but I don't think farmers are raising children. I don't really want teachers raising my children I want them to teach my children.
I think the village to raise a child adage is very much in the dustbin. Once upon a time that would literally be the case and the food would also come from the farmers of the village so it would be quite a different dynamic.
I wish there was more of a community and we could jointly aid in the support of children certainly where I live that is not the case.
Ultimately it is the parent's job to raise the children, and it's the parents job to select who the child comes in contact with.
And if the parents are unable to raise the children properly, then the children should just starve?
As a parent of a young child, you're completely delusional if you think parents are in complete control of every person that a child comes into contact with.
Just at my kids school there are probably 250 staff members including teachers and administrative staff who come into contact with the kids on a daily basis. I have zero influence on that!
This doesn't even touch on mass media in the internet which have a huge impact on not just children, but people like yourself. You yourself are interacting with people on the internet whom you know nothing about.
