A Tale Of Two Summers For Parents Analysis

532 Words3 Pages

In the article “ A Tale of Two Summers for Parents” by Belinda Luscombe, she is giving her point whether she needs a babysitter or an a adult supervision. In this case, if a child is left alone without adult supervision the mother would be arrested. Even though the author disagrees of being arrested and living their children alone, I believe that a children that is under the age of 10 need adult supervision. Elementary students need supervision because it 's safe and it better in case of any emergency.

Luscombe mentions that there was a “ 9 year old daughter in a park in North Augusta, for several of hours and she had a cell Phone”, No matter if the kid has a cell phone or the parent works close by, the child should not be left alone because …show more content…

In my personal experience, when my mom didn 't have money for a babysitter she would usually take us to my aunt or wouldn 't go to work for that day She would always find a way for my brother and I wouldn 't be alone. Their was a time where me and my mom had gone to pick up my little sister, there was lady that works on the stop sign and told us if we knew this little girl and this other lady had said that she was been walking from the corner and she had been lost so we told her, where she lives and we found her babysitter and she had left the little girl all alone in the house while the babysitter goes to the market. This isn 't a good babysitter because she left the girl alone, what would she have done is she didn 't see her in the house, this lady was irresponsible for leaving the girl alone.

Luscombe said “Shanesha Taylor, who left two toddlers in a hot Arizona car for more than an hour”, these kind of cases make me sad and think how a mother can leave their children in a car. This mother is irresponsible because she had an interview for a job and left them there and she could 've easily take them with her and tell the person that she had to bring them because she doesn 't have anyone to supervise them and I 'm pretty sure that they would

  • Unequal Childhoods Summary

    1038 Words  | 5 Pages

    Unequal Childhoods is an ethnography outlining the study done by Annette Lareau which researched how socioeconomic classes impact parenting among both white and African American families. She used both participant observation and interviewing. 12 families participated in this study where she came to conclusions on whether they displayed parenting styles of concerted cultivation or natural growth based of their socioeconomic status. Concerted cultivation is a parenting style where the parent(s) are fully invested in creating as much opportunity for their child as possible, but results in a child with a sense of entitlement. An example of this would be a parent who places their children in a wide array of extracurricular activities and/or actively speaks to educators about the accommodations their child needs to effectively learn.

    “A group of big-city mayors released a study showing that in 2000, requests for food assistance from families increased almost 20 percent, more than at any time in the last decade. In Quindlen's essay “Schools Out for Summer” she addresses many of the food struggles happening not only in other places but right under our noses. During school months it's much less of a problem because of the students going to school and the food programs. So the question is how many kids during the summer are getting the necessary amount of food. “Fifteen million students get free or cut-rate lunches at school, and many get breakfast, too”.

  • All Summer In A Day And The Lottery Comparison Essay

    690 Words  | 3 Pages

    This essay was written to compare the short stories “All Summer in a Day” by Ray Bradbury and “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson. These narratives have a sorrowful plot, open endings, an unhappy main character, and make us think about how we treat our peers, why we treat them the way we do and how we communicate with people. I have written about the similarities and differences of these two stories because, I'd like to emphasize the important details that are alike and different in "All Summer in a Day” and “The Lottery”. Both “The Lottery” and “All Summer in a Day” make the reader think deeply about how much we have and how much we all take for granted. The writers Ray Bradbury and Shirley Jackson did this by creating an unthinkable but mind twisting plot that would almost never come to mind, for example in “The Lottery” every year one person is stoned to death as a sacrifice for a
