"We"—schools, society, etc.—can't really control parenting. But we can control schools, I agree with this statement as it is. But I think it's one of the problems. There have been complaints elsewhere in this thread about the strict work rules under which teachers operate. And I agree with them. You know the story of the drunk looking for his keys under the streetlight instead of in the bushes where he lost them, saying "the light's better here"? If we keep on expecting schools to be the magical institution that fixes society's problems, we are going to keep on being disappointed, all the while greatly bothering all the people working at the school in the meantime.
