Heather Amber Danowill Packs her 4-Year-Old's Backpack

William Andrekopoulos' dreams could come true and property taxes could be jacked up by 16.4% or 50% or 100% and it wouldn't make any difference in terms of the performance of students enrolled in Milwaukee Public Schools.

This is what I'm talking about when I say that money isn't going to solve the problems with MPS.

From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:

The 22-year-old Milwaukee woman who admitted putting pot in her 4-year-old son's school backpack was charged today with a felony count of marijuana possession with intent to distribute.

Heather Amber Danowill was arrested Wednesday after a teacher's aide at Burbank Elementary School found the marijuana while looking for supplies in the kindergartner's backpack. Police found additional marijuana in a search of her home in the 300 block of S. 69th St.

Danowill's son does not have a bright future.

He's being raised by a drug dealing mother.

She's so irresponsible that she actually put pot in her 4-year-old's backpack.

What sort of mother sends her child off to school with pot?

A BAD ONE.

Am I being too judgmental?

No.

This isn't a judgment call.

I'm sure all experts on parenting would agree with me that mothers should not put pot in their children's backpacks.

Educating children is not just the business of the schools.

The role parents play in their children's education is enormous. It can't be underestimated.

Without engaged and responsible parents doing their jobs at home, all the money in the world poured into MPS won't produce results.

As long as there are parents like Danowill, no tax increase, whatever the size, is going to help.

It's the parents, stupid.
