Parents Should Be Held Responsible For Their School-going Children's Discipline Problem

[I met very unexpected events ... Anyway, I don't find essence in refuting anymore since I had forfeited but I have to finish this round because this may be my last debate this year. I'll make this count. :) ] Firstly, 'Pro' totally refuted my argument a little more general. I thought about focusing more about the child's school disciplinary problem. I know that when at home, it is really the parents that should be teaching them and telling them the right things to do to avoid disciplinary issues and take full responsibility to their children. Although, when disciplinary problems arise, the failure should be considered as the children's. It would be because the children are taking their parents' words and it is their decision that makes them do what they are told. Even at young age, the children should also be given the fault since the children's decisions let people see what they are taking into their mind and heart. So, when it comes to school, it is now the teacher, or any elders involved in that school, that corrects their decisions being made and make them learn more. I could say so since schools exist for students to be educated. For this reason, neither the parents nor the teachers should hold the full responsibility of a student's disciplinary problems but they themselves. Although, I agree "that parental responsibility is necessary to teach childhood responsibility" through their words and teachings but this only apply at homes or any other places where the parents are physically present but definitely not at school since parents would not always be there to look after them, time after time. Secondly, I think that aversion to authority does absolve the responsibility of that authority. It would be because, as being talked about, parents are the ones who talk to their children and the children would then be the one to act out everything according to what their decisions would be. So, it can still concluded that parents are not totally accountable accountable for their child's behavior. Thirdly, again, 'Pro' refuted my argument a little more general for the second time. I totally agree that parents are the ones who are accountable for their children's behavior, character and attitude in most aspects but totally not in school. Why would you such make the parents hold responsibility for their children's school discipline problem? They are not the ones being there but their child/children. I meant to reason out that the parent's responsibility can be a failure because when you make someone hold a responsibility over a child's disciplinary problem, you would expect to observe changes from that child in the following day/s. For this reason, I could say that parent responsibility failures would only make the situation worse and thus the responsibility should then be put over to the child himself by then. Concluding, *CON* still says "Parents Should still NOT Be Held Responsible For Their School-going Children's Discipline Problem." As for the last round, "I deeply apologize for making this debate 2 (arguments) rounds only which makes it not enough to talk about this topic. For my forfeit, there was some Internet Connection problem that I was not able to post my refutations within the time allotted. In addition, I was not expecting about school requirements: I was flooded with our clearance requirements because this week's our clearance week and semester break comes after. Anyway, I thank you for keeping this debate up with me and taking time with me to refute." To voters, thank you in advance for reading and making your decisions with your votes. Vote straight please. May the better speaker wins. God Bless Us All!
