PROPER PRIOR PARENTING

P.- PUBLIC SCHOOL PLAYGROUNDS ELIMINATE MERRY-GO-ROUNDS AND SWINGS UNDER 'GERARD'S LAW,' FOR THE CHILD WHO DIED AFTER A LUNCHROOM TABLE FELL ON HIM. 'USED TO BE', PARENTS (MOM OR DAD OR BOTH) WATCHED OUT FOR THE SAFETY OF THEIR CHILDREN.

P. PUBLIC SCHOOL BUSES MUST SHUT OFF THEIR ENGINES WHEN STOPPED TO REDUCE THE FUMES FROM DIESEL FUEL. 'USED TO BE', THE GAS FROM EQUINE TRANSPORTATION UNITS WERE ACCEPTED BY PARENTS AND STUDENTS ALIKE AS OCCUPATIONAL HAZARDS, NOT A CAUSE TO PANIC.

P. - 14% OF PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS ARE IN SPECIAL EDUCATION WHICH COSTS THE TAXPAYERS 50% MORE PER STUDENT THEN 'REGULAR' EDUCATION. 'USED TO BE', SLOW LEARNING DISABILITIES WERE ACKNOWLEDGED TO BE NON-EXISTENT BECAUSE PARENTS KNEW THAT SOME 'JOHNNY’S’ (INSPIRED BY MASCULINE GENES WHICH ARE TODAY DENIED THEM BY POLITICAL CORRECTNESS) AND JOANNE’S, SIMPLY WOULDN'T DO THEIR SCHOOLWORK.

P. THE GOVERNMENT WANTS TO MANDATE THAT CARS HAVE SENSING DEVICES TO DETECT OBJECTS OR CHILDREN BEHIND THEM WHEN THEY ARE PUT INTO REVERSE GEAR. THIS, BECAUSE THE NUMBER OF BACKUP DEATHS HAS ALMOST QUADRUPLED FROM 1997 TO 2006, FROM 138 TO 474. 474 PUTS INTO PERSPECTIVE MY CONCEPT OF WHAT ‘USED TO BE’ PROPER PRIOR PARENTING. P.P.P. WAS ABSENT IN EACH CASE OF A CHILD'S NEEDLESS DEATH.

NEITHER SCHOOLS NOR GOVERNMENT RELENTLESSLY INTRUDING UPON THE RIGHTS AND CHOICES OF PARENTS CAN TEACH P.P.P. AS IN THE CASE OF REGULATING THE VOLUNTARY FACTOR OUT OF CIGARETTES, EFFORTS ARE DESTINED TO GO UP IN SMOKE.

P..S. THIRTY YEARS AFTER ELVIS' DEATH, 8/16/07, LET'S REMEMBER ELVIS MIGHT HAVE BEEN A SYMBOLICAL KING OF ROCK AND ROLL, "A VERY, GREAT PERFORMER," BUT MORE TRIBUTE IS NEEDED TO THE KING OF KINGS IN ORDER FOR HIM TO DELIVER THIS WONDERFUL COUNTRY OF AMERICA FROM THE PLAGUE OF IMPROPER PRIOR PARENTING.
