Here are some traits of good parents. Good parents:

• Teach their children not to allow society’s grievances to overshadow their opportunities.
• Make sure their children are actually attending school. (A recent study reported that Detroit students missed more school days than any other school district in the country.)
• Know where their children are and don’t allow their children to be out late at night.
• Don’t leave loaded guns around where children can access them.
• Teach their children the difference between right and wrong from day one.
• Teach their children to be polite, to respect others, their opinions and their property.
• Teach by example, and don’t clown or argument with others in public.
• Teach their children money is important and a neccessity, but how they get money is just as important. Stealing from others or selling drugs is unacceptable.
• Education is crucial, and if they want a better life, they must make education a priority.
• Set high academic expectations for their children and put limits on social and electronic distractions.
• Teach their children to respect human life
