You make PERFECT sense; ALAS, we seem to be WAY PAST a time when the "Parents" were responsible for the Anti-Social behavior of Their Children.

I, & Many of my "Contemporaries" remember when a "Trip to the Principal's Office" was like a "Perp-Walk" to the "Death Chamber!"

Most of My "Generation" would "Walk on Nails" to avoid a "Trip to the Principal!"

& So "Times Change!"

With the Help of "Your Friendly Trial Lawyer," there is NO MORE "In Loco Parentis!"--a Teacher can NO LONGER "rap an obnoxious twerp on the Side of His Head--& Thereby, just possibly, get enough of his attention to teach him some (History, Mathematics, English, Civics, Geography) that he MIGHT get a "Passing Grade" in said Subject!

But NOOOO..."Johnny Jr" is a "Sacred Vessel," created to be an "Insufferable Twerp" by "Johnny Sr," an UTTERLY Refractory sociopath incapable of learning ANYTHING. I Sympathize with our current "Crop" of "Teachers!"

It May take 2-3 Generations to restore a "Proper" "Student-Teacher" Culture.

The SAME goes for "Medicine!"

If "America" survives, It will Do So DESPITE the Horrible Social Degeneration around us.

I SURE HOPE SOMEONE finds a way to let our Culture Survive--We "Got It Right!"

But we Just Can't Seem to "Keep It Going!!"

Perhaps, Somehow, the "Kids" we are "Raising" have come to Understand WHAT WE HAVE, & Maybe, They will do "What is Necessary" to perpetuate our Culture.

Maybe.

It is just another attempt by the school board junkies to control the responsibilities for the parents. Where would we would be without the experts to tell us how to raise our children?

It is no wonder so many parents have kids ,and then immediately turn them over to the government for "proper" training.

What gets me is then some teachers want to complain that the parents are not involved enough with their children's education ,and the students are failing because of the parents lack of involvement.

My message to teachers and school system junkies: You can not have it both ways ,and still collect your pay. Decide if you want to be the nanny or not. This is the parent's responsibility and the school board should push these issues to the parents.

The school boards always take the road of treating everyone like they are guilty , and give some ignorant reasons like having similar issues in the past that have had bad results to other students.

So they have to take the luxury of being responsible away from everyone. Lets not even talk about the number of cases of school forced drug use for "ADD" and "ADHD". They force drugs on some children and refuse drugs to others. Not a creative way to solve a problem.

Oh but wait, solving it any other way than Gestapo?... Then they would be giving up up absolute power.

Where is the reading and writing?

WELL;--we send our Children to the "Public School System," to learn the "Basic Skills" to "Prosper" in our Culture.

We expect the "Public School System" to teach our Children Basic Mathematical Skills (add, subtract, multiply, Divide, etc...), & to teach them the basic tenets about Living in our Culture!

There is NO ROOM in Their "Curriculum" for "Indoctrination" in a Particular "Religious Philosophy."

ANY "So-Called-'Teacher'" attempting to indoctrinate our Children about ANY "Philosophy," is operating WAY BEYOND the "operating Limits" assumed & expected by our "Current-Day Parents!"
