How to Be a Bad Parent Says Lubbock Writer
Lester C. Means of Lub bock offers seven rules for making life harder for children in an essay published in the Manhattan Heights and West Texas Times. He argues irresponsibility and abandonment of rules foster bad parenthood and urges parents to show love and set clear standards. Means, a polio survivor with a varied local work life, credits his mother’s insistence on study and self reliance for his achievements. He has two sons, Robert and James, and advocates training over mere teaching to guide children.
