I found a video that kind of touches on the lives of some children at a school in West Virginia and their experiences with parents who are addicted. A lot of them have been displaced and put in foster care due to their parents addiction. An this school in West Virginia has tried to accommodate and take care of these children in response to the rising number of drug users and addicts in the area. However they don't have enough money necessarily to do everything to support and help these kids.
I was wondering if it would be beneficial for the state to provide money to more schools so that they can better assist these students. Besides more funding what do you all think could be some more possible courses of action the state could take or schools? To possibly support students who may have a parent that is addicted, or in jail because of addiction.
Personally, I feel like athletics is an avenue that could benefit children who are dealing with these issues. More funding for these kinds of activities would give kids an activity to somewhat escape from the issues they are going through. As well as be positively impacted by coaches who take an interest in their lives.
ReplyDeleteSuch schools could definitely help addicts' children. And one possible course could be required addicts parents to come to school and to finish certain tasks with children, so as to not only re-build relationship between parents and children, but also educate addict parents.
