Speaker 6 (06:05):
About eighty five percent of pearents with school age children
say they talk to a teacher about their child's progress
in the past year now, According to statistics, engaged parents
can also reduce student suspension rates. And parental involvement is
also linked to increased academic achievement.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
So this morning, we want to know, how do you
teach your kids' life lessons at home? Or do you
believe that it's the job of the teachers in schools.
One thing they don't teach is phonics anymore. Ye, they
do not teach phunnis well anymore.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
How do they teach you to read?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
I don't know, but it's it's not the technique of phunnings.
And this comes from Donna Duke's my classmate that owns
her her own school. She is tutored my key all
of my children from Brandon all the way down to
the twins.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
And we can get her own.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Man, because she's an education She was our high school
and college Valedictoria and we went in to high school,
elementary school, high school and college together.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
And when she break.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Down, break all of that stuff down, you would be
surprised that lady is not. I too, have taken the
iPads from the kids when they're in the car because
they don't have any sense of direction.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
You get the kids three.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Or four miles, they can't tell you how to get home.
Come on, dog and I make them. Point I said,
point me, okay, show me how to get home when
we get down by target leaving out the target or somewhere,
show me how to get home. And I make them
show me like my granddad, you said, well are you
I'm on two eighty, I'm on first Avenue. Teaching them
because we give them those iPads to entertain them and
(07:42):
they're not getting the sense of their surrounding and anything else.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
And that lady was right about the names and the
phone numbers.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
My grandmother phone number was five ninety five nine oh six,
so my great grandmother number was five nine one seven
eight three eight.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
My other grandma number was eight four nine seven three
eight five. Since I like.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
To this day, I can I know all of my
grandmother's and uncle's phone number.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
All she mentioned about teaching kids the parents' names. Your
kids do need like when they're two and three years old,
they need to know you other than mommy and daddycause
they get separated from you somewhere. They need to be
able to say, well, what's your mama name? My mam
and name is Kathy, or my mom and name is
whatever you know, not mama, my mama name, the mama
like teach your kids your name, your real name.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
And you know.
Speaker 6 (08:26):
Another reason why kids, me and I know how to
get around is because when we were little, we rode
our bikes all the way to the store.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
We walked, we rode across the city.
Speaker 9 (08:35):
We're afraid to.
Speaker 6 (08:35):
Do that now, Like we're not letting our kids, you know,
ride their bike up to the grocery store.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Bike.
Speaker 9 (08:42):
What you just explained. And my son, he just recently
turned sixteen, so he's driving.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
A little bit now.
Speaker 9 (08:46):
So I always made him put his phone away while
why he's in the back seat of the car. So
I say, hey, man, get us home. And he looked
at me first, like, because no, GPS, give me that phone.
We ain't gonna get to them. You should know how
to get home from here. And I made him drop
so I ain't gonna be Yeah, I don't care how
many left the wrong turns you may. And he got
us home.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Wow. Yeah, it's important. They have to know their surroundings.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
They have to know first name, last name, teach them
their phone numbers, you know, last name.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
My granddaughter said, what's my name?
Speaker 1 (09:17):
She said, Ricky smile the morning show.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
That's different. She'll be three on on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
But this stuff is so so important, y'all hit us
little at eight six six nine, Ricky eight sixty six
nine are c k e whie this morning. We want
to know do you teach kids life lessons at home
or do you believe that that is the job of
teachers in schools?
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Good morning.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Hey.
Speaker 11 (09:44):
My name is Nisha and I'm calling from Fort Lauderdal
and I teach minds at home because I feel like,
you know, it's learning starts from home.
Speaker 12 (09:52):
First, and another thing you ain't gonna go to school.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
And it barras me.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
You gonna know, you gonna know that stuff before the
teacher tell it to you.
Speaker 12 (09:58):
This is Jazz Saint Pete. I absolutely one hundred percent
encourage parents teaching their kids at home. At home, It's important.
They need to be taught not just by the teachers,
love out the parents as well. Double involvement is helpful
for the kids. My name is Marsha.
Speaker 11 (10:15):
I'm calling from Houston, and I teach at home and
it should not be solely on the teacher.
Speaker 12 (10:23):
There are basic skills that kids should learn at an
early age.
Speaker 8 (10:27):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
I'm Durian from Collinsville. I teach my kids at home.
I feel like single parents myself. I teach my kids everything.
They get up in the morning, they brush their teeth
by themself, they get their own clothes ready, they make
their lunches for school in the morning. I teach mine
to be as self sufficient as possible, and that that's
gonna help them out, you know, as they getting older themselves.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
And I have something to say on the other side,
and I'm gonna say it, and a lot of people
gonna get mad at me for this.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Now.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
I don't tell nobody how to raise their kids, but man,
unraised children have a negative effect on other people who
have good home training. And that's where the class comes in.
In public, we're gonna be talking more about it. Y'all
can hit us up at.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Eight six six nine Rica eight sixty six nine, are
I c k e y.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
We'll be taking more of your phone calls coming up
next week'smeter the Morning Show, Somebody Morning showre we talking
about parents engagement when it comes to their kids education.
And I know, you know, we we were taking your
phone calls eight six six nine, Mika eight sixty six nine,
are k e y?
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (11:35):
But RICKI okay, I mean, y'all may get upset. But i'nestly,
but y'all not honestly feel it is the teacher's responsibility
to teach the kids.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
It is not algebra. Yeah, charity starts at home. Well,
charity starts at home. But that's why the teachers are
teachers to educate the children off their educational stuff.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
But there's certain things that they need to know, like
their name, life's right and right skills and how to
get home.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Well, y'all know what.
Speaker 8 (11:58):
A teacher shared a list of basic skills were once
considered standard milestones for elementary age students. She posted a
message on TikTok, and lots of plarents had some to say.
Many argued that these deficiencies speak more to the quality
of the parenting or lack thereof.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
And this is what she's said.
Speaker 11 (12:13):
Ten things kids no longer know how to do, and
I don't know why. Number one read a clock with confidence.
Number two write in script. Number three memorize phone numbers.
They don't know their parents' numbers. They don't even know
what apartment they live in.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
They don't know what.
Speaker 11 (12:32):
Street they live on. I'm talking about third graders, y'all.
Number five, they don't know how to count money anyway.
The next one, they don't know their parents' names. I'll
ask them, what is.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Your mom's name. They'd be like, I don't know.
Speaker 11 (12:45):
You don't know your parents' name, y'all, I don't know
what's happening.
Speaker 9 (12:49):
I don't know parents.
Speaker 11 (12:50):
If y'all can help us out, we need to go
back to basics. Can you please help these kids out
because they're coming too the classroom lacking the basics, and
it's a pri My.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Friend just text me in and said, they don't know
their own name. They'd be thinking they name Nuke Nuok,
whatever their nickname is. That's what a lot of them
think that their name is. They don't know their real name.
And another thing, we got to get back to teaching kids' manners.
So I'm running a round to a lot of adults
that don't have manners, and they don't know to teach
(13:22):
their children manners.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Good morning, how are you nice to meet you? Thank you?
And please?
Speaker 1 (13:27):
You know, asking kids what they want, that's why this
is how you kill entitlement. You know, do you want
this or do you want that? Instead of using words
like would you like would you like a snack? Would
you like some fruit. And then if you say would
you like, they would say I would like as opposed,
I want you talking about all these Karens that I
hear all these people with their time. I want this
(13:48):
want that's a demand. You know, teach children how to
be polite and good morning, and how are you, and
thank you and please in just basic common sense and
common courtesy is so important whatever, because you want people
to say, man, these are some of the most polite
and when your child is polite, that make people want
(14:10):
to help them and they're going to go a lot
further if they're polite and respectful.
Speaker 13 (14:14):
So and what you're saying. But when you said take
the iPad away, my conversations with my kids changed. They
remember things, They remember that all of the like I
started looking at like, oh man, I feel like a
bad parent because I was pacifying them. I remember we
be the airport. I to give the kids the iPad
(14:35):
and stuff like that, and now to keep them quiet,
to keep them quiet, and you know, but now it's like, no,
you don't need a iPad when you get on the airplane.
You don't need an iPad in the car. And we
have real conversations.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
And it's okay for them to sit in church and
watch a church service without an iPad, It's okay, so
they can get a feel and get a sense of
the Lord. And kids not going to Sunday school anymore,
and that's why they ain't scared of nothing. They don't
don't have no fear of anything like the fear of God.
Ain't no more church, ain't the more sun in school,
you know, in church with the iPad and stuff like that,
(15:08):
and not getting the sense of you know, the Holy Ghost,
the Holy Spirit, the past of praying and all of
this stuff is so so important to their development. Let's
go to the phones. Eight sixty six nine, RICKI, good morning.
Speaker 14 (15:21):
My name is Creo from Cleveland, and yes, I teach
both at home and hope that teachers are teaching the
same thing or what want us to be on the
same page.
Speaker 15 (15:33):
I teach mine basic skills at home. But parents definitely
don't have students that can read but don't know how
to open up smacks, don't know how to put on
their cult simple basic life skills.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
They have absolutely none.
Speaker 14 (15:51):
Yes, I'm calling from Baltimore and Maryland, and I think
that parents need.
Speaker 12 (15:55):
To teach see children at home before they come to school. OK, well,
you're absolutely correct.
Speaker 10 (16:02):
They need to learn the basic skills.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
My son, he is sixteen.
Speaker 7 (16:06):
I was leting him drive.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
I'm like, okay, you want to try a phone and
he's like yeah.
Speaker 12 (16:10):
So we take this out every day and he's like,
which way do I go?
Speaker 7 (16:15):
Huh?
Speaker 15 (16:15):
I'm like, because he's on his phone all the time.
Speaker 12 (16:17):
And as far as that's finance, they're not learning products.
They're learning to read from memory.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
So they're learning words, but they're not learning how to
found them out.
Speaker 12 (16:24):
Everybody trying to work together. These kids don't the nothet. Yes,
this is Trey calling from Fort Lauderdown, And I.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
Believe it's a community.
Speaker 12 (16:33):
It should be done at home and in the schools.
But I do believe that the parents are responsible for
a lot of the teens that need to be taught
and learned by their kids.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
See, we get busy on our phones and trying to
cut down on some of the time that we spending
the kids with the kids and the interaction or whatever.
You know, sometimes we as parent, we got to put
our phones down too, put our phones down so you
can spend that quality time and that intimate time with
the children and having conversations about certain stuff.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Okay, where's that? Okay, which way do I go?
Speaker 1 (17:05):
I promise you, every time I get close to the house,
I'm asking them to leave me and show me how
to get home. And I'm really gonna work out and
then think about the phone numbers. I'm gonna work on
that and work on you know what I'm saying. They
need to know my number. They need to know their
mother phone number by memory, anything happened. They can give
somebody a phone number so somebody can text or call
(17:25):
or contact the parent. The stuff that's so so important.
We should definitely be having more conversations about this, y'all.
More weeks, some out of the Morning show coming up.

top of the hour, Gary has the tea in the calue.

About eighty five percent of pearents with school age children
say they talk to a teacher about their child's progress
in the past year now, According to statistics, engaged parents
can also reduce student suspension rates. And parental involvement is
also linked to increased academic achievement.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
So this morning, we want to know, how do you
teach your kids' life lessons at home? Or do you
believe that it's the job of the teachers in schools.
One thing they don't teach is phonics anymore. Ye, they
do not teach phunnis well anymore.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
How do they teach you to read?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
I don't know, but it's it's not the technique of phunnings.
And this comes from Donna Duke's my classmate that owns
her her own school. She is tutored my key all
of my children from Brandon all the way down to
the twins.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
And we can get her own.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Man, because she's an education She was our high school
and college Valedictoria and we went in to high school,
elementary school, high school and college together.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
And when she break.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Down, break all of that stuff down, you would be
surprised that lady is not. I too, have taken the
iPads from the kids when they're in the car because
they don't have any sense of direction.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
You get the kids three.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Or four miles, they can't tell you how to get home.
Come on, dog and I make them. Point I said,
point me, okay, show me how to get home when
we get down by target leaving out the target or somewhere,
show me how to get home. And I make them
show me like my granddad, you said, well are you
I'm on two eighty, I'm on first Avenue. Teaching them
because we give them those iPads to entertain them and
(07:42):
they're not getting the sense of their surrounding and anything else.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
And that lady was right about the names and the
phone numbers.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
My grandmother phone number was five ninety five nine oh six,
so my great grandmother number was five nine one seven
eight three eight.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
My other grandma number was eight four nine seven three
eight five. Since I like.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
To this day, I can I know all of my
grandmother's and uncle's phone number.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
All she mentioned about teaching kids the parents' names. Your
kids do need like when they're two and three years old,
they need to know you other than mommy and daddycause
they get separated from you somewhere. They need to be
able to say, well, what's your mama name? My mam
and name is Kathy, or my mom and name is
whatever you know, not mama, my mama name, the mama
like teach your kids your name, your real name.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
And you know.
Speaker 6 (08:26):
Another reason why kids, me and I know how to
get around is because when we were little, we rode
our bikes all the way to the store.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
We walked, we rode across the city.
Speaker 9 (08:35):
We're afraid to.
Speaker 6 (08:35):
Do that now, Like we're not letting our kids, you know,
ride their bike up to the grocery store.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Bike.
Speaker 9 (08:42):
What you just explained. And my son, he just recently
turned sixteen, so he's driving.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
A little bit now.
Speaker 9 (08:46):
So I always made him put his phone away while
why he's in the back seat of the car. So
I say, hey, man, get us home. And he looked
at me first, like, because no, GPS, give me that phone.
We ain't gonna get to them. You should know how
to get home from here. And I made him drop
so I ain't gonna be Yeah, I don't care how
many left the wrong turns you may. And he got
us home.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Wow. Yeah, it's important. They have to know their surroundings.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
They have to know first name, last name, teach them
their phone numbers, you know, last name.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
My granddaughter said, what's my name?
Speaker 1 (09:17):
She said, Ricky smile the morning show.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
That's different. She'll be three on on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
But this stuff is so so important, y'all hit us
little at eight six six nine, Ricky eight sixty six
nine are c k e whie this morning. We want
to know do you teach kids life lessons at home
or do you believe that that is the job of
teachers in schools?
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Good morning.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Hey.
Speaker 11 (09:44):
My name is Nisha and I'm calling from Fort Lauderdal
and I teach minds at home because I feel like,
you know, it's learning starts from home.
Speaker 12 (09:52):
First, and another thing you ain't gonna go to school.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
And it barras me.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
You gonna know, you gonna know that stuff before the
teacher tell it to you.
Speaker 12 (09:58):
This is Jazz Saint Pete. I absolutely one hundred percent
encourage parents teaching their kids at home. At home, It's important.
They need to be taught not just by the teachers,
love out the parents as well. Double involvement is helpful
for the kids. My name is Marsha.
Speaker 11 (10:15):
I'm calling from Houston, and I teach at home and
it should not be solely on the teacher.
Speaker 12 (10:23):
There are basic skills that kids should learn at an
early age.
Speaker 8 (10:27):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
I'm Durian from Collinsville. I teach my kids at home.
I feel like single parents myself. I teach my kids everything.
They get up in the morning, they brush their teeth
by themself, they get their own clothes ready, they make
their lunches for school in the morning. I teach mine
to be as self sufficient as possible, and that that's
gonna help them out, you know, as they getting older themselves.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
And I have something to say on the other side,
and I'm gonna say it, and a lot of people
gonna get mad at me for this.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Now.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
I don't tell nobody how to raise their kids, but man,
unraised children have a negative effect on other people who
have good home training. And that's where the class comes in.
In public, we're gonna be talking more about it. Y'all
can hit us up at.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Eight six six nine Rica eight sixty six nine, are
I c k e y.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
We'll be taking more of your phone calls coming up
next week'smeter the Morning Show, Somebody Morning showre we talking
about parents engagement when it comes to their kids education.
And I know, you know, we we were taking your
phone calls eight six six nine, Mika eight sixty six nine,
are k e y?
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (11:35):
But RICKI okay, I mean, y'all may get upset. But i'nestly,
but y'all not honestly feel it is the teacher's responsibility
to teach the kids.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
It is not algebra. Yeah, charity starts at home. Well,
charity starts at home. But that's why the teachers are
teachers to educate the children off their educational stuff.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
But there's certain things that they need to know, like
their name, life's right and right skills and how to
get home.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Well, y'all know what.
Speaker 8 (11:58):
A teacher shared a list of basic skills were once
considered standard milestones for elementary age students. She posted a
message on TikTok, and lots of plarents had some to say.
Many argued that these deficiencies speak more to the quality
of the parenting or lack thereof.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
And this is what she's said.
Speaker 11 (12:13):
Ten things kids no longer know how to do, and
I don't know why. Number one read a clock with confidence.
Number two write in script. Number three memorize phone numbers.
They don't know their parents' numbers. They don't even know
what apartment they live in.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
They don't know what.
Speaker 11 (12:32):
Street they live on. I'm talking about third graders, y'all.
Number five, they don't know how to count money anyway.
The next one, they don't know their parents' names. I'll
ask them, what is.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Your mom's name. They'd be like, I don't know.
Speaker 11 (12:45):
You don't know your parents' name, y'all, I don't know
what's happening.
Speaker 9 (12:49):
I don't know parents.
Speaker 11 (12:50):
If y'all can help us out, we need to go
back to basics. Can you please help these kids out
because they're coming too the classroom lacking the basics, and
it's a pri My.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Friend just text me in and said, they don't know
their own name. They'd be thinking they name Nuke Nuok,
whatever their nickname is. That's what a lot of them
think that their name is. They don't know their real name.
And another thing, we got to get back to teaching kids' manners.
So I'm running a round to a lot of adults
that don't have manners, and they don't know to teach
(13:22):
their children manners.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Good morning, how are you nice to meet you? Thank you?
And please?
Speaker 1 (13:27):
You know, asking kids what they want, that's why this
is how you kill entitlement. You know, do you want
this or do you want that? Instead of using words
like would you like would you like a snack? Would
you like some fruit. And then if you say would
you like, they would say I would like as opposed,
I want you talking about all these Karens that I
hear all these people with their time. I want this
(13:48):
want that's a demand. You know, teach children how to
be polite and good morning, and how are you, and
thank you and please in just basic common sense and
common courtesy is so important whatever, because you want people
to say, man, these are some of the most polite
and when your child is polite, that make people want
(14:10):
to help them and they're going to go a lot
further if they're polite and respectful.
Speaker 13 (14:14):
So and what you're saying. But when you said take
the iPad away, my conversations with my kids changed. They
remember things, They remember that all of the like I
started looking at like, oh man, I feel like a
bad parent because I was pacifying them. I remember we
be the airport. I to give the kids the iPad
(14:35):
and stuff like that, and now to keep them quiet,
to keep them quiet, and you know, but now it's like, no,
you don't need a iPad when you get on the airplane.
You don't need an iPad in the car. And we
have real conversations.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
And it's okay for them to sit in church and
watch a church service without an iPad, It's okay, so
they can get a feel and get a sense of
the Lord. And kids not going to Sunday school anymore,
and that's why they ain't scared of nothing. They don't
don't have no fear of anything like the fear of God.
Ain't no more church, ain't the more sun in school,
you know, in church with the iPad and stuff like that,
(15:08):
and not getting the sense of you know, the Holy Ghost,
the Holy Spirit, the past of praying and all of
this stuff is so so important to their development. Let's
go to the phones. Eight sixty six nine, RICKI, good morning.
Speaker 14 (15:21):
My name is Creo from Cleveland, and yes, I teach
both at home and hope that teachers are teaching the
same thing or what want us to be on the
same page.
Speaker 15 (15:33):
I teach mine basic skills at home. But parents definitely
don't have students that can read but don't know how
to open up smacks, don't know how to put on
their cult simple basic life skills.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
They have absolutely none.
Speaker 14 (15:51):
Yes, I'm calling from Baltimore and Maryland, and I think
that parents need.
Speaker 12 (15:55):
To teach see children at home before they come to school. OK, well,
you're absolutely correct.
Speaker 10 (16:02):
They need to learn the basic skills.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
My son, he is sixteen.
Speaker 7 (16:06):
I was leting him drive.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
I'm like, okay, you want to try a phone and
he's like yeah.
Speaker 12 (16:10):
So we take this out every day and he's like,
which way do I go?
Speaker 7 (16:15):
Huh?
Speaker 15 (16:15):
I'm like, because he's on his phone all the time.
Speaker 12 (16:17):
And as far as that's finance, they're not learning products.
They're learning to read from memory.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
So they're learning words, but they're not learning how to
found them out.
Speaker 12 (16:24):
Everybody trying to work together. These kids don't the nothet. Yes,
this is Trey calling from Fort Lauderdown, And I.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
Believe it's a community.
Speaker 12 (16:33):
It should be done at home and in the schools.
But I do believe that the parents are responsible for
a lot of the teens that need to be taught
and learned by their kids.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
See, we get busy on our phones and trying to
cut down on some of the time that we spending
the kids with the kids and the interaction or whatever.
You know, sometimes we as parent, we got to put
our phones down too, put our phones down so you
can spend that quality time and that intimate time with
the children and having conversations about certain stuff.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Okay, where's that? Okay, which way do I go?
Speaker 1 (17:05):
I promise you, every time I get close to the house,
I'm asking them to leave me and show me how
to get home. And I'm really gonna work out and
then think about the phone numbers. I'm gonna work on
that and work on you know what I'm saying. They
need to know my number. They need to know their
mother phone number by memory, anything happened. They can give
somebody a phone number so somebody can text or call
(17:25):
or contact the parent. The stuff that's so so important.
We should definitely be having more conversations about this, y'all.
More weeks, some out of the Morning show coming up.
