Putting your kids through high school can be like putting yourselves as
parents through an emotional wringer.

There's new and difficult subjects to conquer, interminable hours of
homework to get through, friendship issues, boyfriends and girlfriends,
bullying and cyber-bullying, the temptations of drugs and booze, the
perils and pleasures of social networking...the list goes on.

And that's just for our kids!
For us parents, there are different pressures...working out what type
of school (government, private or religious) best suits our kids,
dealing with the bureaucracy of education, dealing with good or
not-so-good teachers, understanding education in the 21st Century, and
the relentless drain on our wallets are just some of the matters we
must address.

All of this at a time when our kids' bodies and mental states are
changing as hormones rage through their bodies - and at a time when we
expect the absolute best from them at school. All ingredients for `the
perfect storm'.

No matter how hard you try to avoid it, this maelstrom coalesces into a
highly emotional time-bomb waiting to be set off by the least little
spark. And like any explosive device, the results can be devastating.

We know - we've been through it. Others have too...

Like all parents, we think of our kids as `good kids' - and they really
are. But during the years 12 to 18, there will be days when the
pressures on them - and you - will be overwhelming. Jekyll and Hyde had
nothing on this.

Of course all of our journeys through these years are different. Many
of you may look at our story in horror - others of you might say: "Tsk!
You reckon YOU'VE had it tough? Come and talk to US!"

Nevertheless it's been our experience - and in our darkest moments,
what often kept us going was..."Well! That'll make an interesting
chapter in the book!"
It wasn't until part way through the last year of high school for our
last child that the decision to actually write the book went from part
`joke' to hard reality.t was born on the anvil of white heat over some
school issue or other (the flashpoint now thankfully forgotten) which
almost came to blows.

We resolved there and then to record our experiences - not only as a
cathartic exercise for us - but in the hope we could provide some sort
of guidance for those of you whose kids are fighting the high school
`war' already, or for those for whom the battle is just over the
horizon.

Our book is also for those who have emerged from the battle. Like us,
you will have come through, scarred emotionally perhaps, but
nevertheless you have survived.

We hope our book will help you lick your wounds, and understand you've
done your best. Parents often end the high school years flagellating
themselves that they `should have done better' - but what's done is
done. Our book helps you understand that, and realise it's time to
move on.

As a result, this is not a book written from the dry perspective of
formal educators or psychologists - instead it's a human parents'-eye
view of what you and your children will go through during the
`secondary education' years.
We were also driven to write this as we found as we talked to other
parents that we all have had very similar experiences - but these
experiences are rarely documented from a parents' point-of-view.

While it might seem patently obvious, overwhelmingly we found that
parents learn about what they've done right (or, painfully, what
they've done wrong) from the `school of hard knocks' - and in that
`school', there are few, if any, text-books.

Having been through that `school' with two kids, we hope this book will
ease your passage and give you a `heads up' on some of the issues you
and your children will face.

We also note that in discussions with international friends, that the
problems are `generic' across international boundaries. No matter where
they live, kids go through the same physical development and
peer-to-peer pressure and so on.

Cultural issues aside, we must remember they are human beings after
all; kids are kids no matter whey they live. On the other hand, we must
recognise that cultural or geographic differences can actually add to
the pressures on kids. We hope our observations will give you help,
tips and solace in the way you deal with your kids, no matter where you
live.

We write our book under a nom de plume. Doing so gives us the freedom
to be honest and open about our experiences, our expectations of our
kids and they of us, our thoughts and criticisms of schools, teachers
and the education system, and our considered view of what the education
system has done for our kids' future. Most importantly we don't want
to embarrass our kids!

For those of you who have reached the final year of high school with
your kids, or are part way through it, this book may be viewed as
`emergency first-aid'.
If nothing else, our advice might seem more of a soothing `salve' to
calm your nerves, give you an opportunity to take a deep breath, and
soldier on knowing you are not alone.

Overall, in these often grinding, unforgiving years, we believe the
better armed you are to make strategic decisions now will help you
better understand and help your kids.

We hope our book casts a light on high school education, what your kids
go through and how you as parents can survive these years with less
angst, less stress, and a with family unit going forward more or less
intact.

By now you will have probably worked out that our book educates you as
much it is about the education of your kids.

When we were thinking of a name for our book, we came up with a number
of titles- but it wasn't until we were discussing with others our plans
for our book and the issues we have had with our kids over the years,
that the name for the book became abundantly clear.

Having recited the litany of problems we have encountered, one
drop-jawed mother (now grandmother) simply said: "Oh! You poor
parents!"

So welcome to You Poor Parents! We hope it will enrich your lives.

Heads up: There's an ongoing spamdexing of Google searchbot algorithms. Sites that are 'copies of copies' and cloaked sites which include Zorgium keywords presented to search engine crawlers yet garbage content presented to human visitors were hosted on thousands of IP addresses and domains registered immediately after the introduction of Zorgium in November of 2009. The Hostgator/'The Planet'/Softlayer datacenters in Texas seem to be the epicenter of this activity in conjunction with anonymously registered domains of various TLD's but primarily .info domains at Godaddy which, in our opinion, has some sort of connection to the domains of goldmint.in and goldmint.org. Google has begun to notice this and has begun to lower the ranking of these sites and put our original sites back on top of the search rankings. These actions, as far as we can tell, negatively impact the use of the keyword 'zorgium' as a search term and provided little benefit, if any, to the perpetrators.
