I taught in a great school—one that used to hold high expectations, reinforce accountability, and had supportive parents. But over time, that shifted. Not because the kids changed, but because we stopped expecting more. We stopped holding the line.

We started making excuses.

Society told us kids were too anxious, too confused, too fragile to expect much from. That they shouldn’t have to face hard truths or clear boundaries.

That failure would damage their self-esteem and consequences were too harsh. That girls might really be boys. That every kid deserves a trophy.

That expecting respect was asking too much.

And little by little, we gave in.

Parents stopped making hard calls. Administrators lost their spine.

They gave the culture what it wanted—no matter the cost. Teachers were told to back off. And in the absence of leadership, society—loud, confused,

and often wrong—took over the job of raising kids. The more we backed off, the more kids drifted. And no one stopped to ask what that silence was costing the kids.

This program was built to help parents reclaim their role—with clarity, courage,

and a real plan to raise grounded kids in a world that’s lost its mind.
