I'm going to have to disagree with this. My school when I grew up utterly failed at this. Your school may have too. I was shocked when I worked in a school that didn't fail on this front. I'm not sure it would work in a standard North American school because the main problem is that parents don't respect the teachers/education system. Teachers have to accommodate every single bizarre idea that parents have about how to raise children. But if you have a private school that isn't afraid to tell parents to go elsewhere if they don't like the education, I think it can be done. In fact, I've seen it done. The Japanese school where I taught lectured parents for failing their children more than they lectured the students for screwing up. It was incredible.
