Academic Language Week 31 - Teen Vandals

Parents of teen vandals should not be held responsible for their child's damage. One reason is because their children will not be able to ACHIEVE a better understanding if their mistakes are not paid for correctly. If the child is not given a SPECIFIC punishment for the damage, they will never be able to function in a society if they do not understand the rules. Children need to COMPUTE their consequences without an adults help. In conclusion, parents should not be responsible for their child's actions.
