What about idiot parents? Most of the parents I meet today I wouldn't trust with an ant farm.

There are idiot parents and idiot teachers. But for the most part, idiot parents don't attempt to teach.

Yes, and nearly all of them are products of the public schools, whose staff (both teachers and administrators) are the bottom feeders of higher education (administrators worse than the teachers). The NEA ploy of blaming public school incompetence on parents may have had some credibility when public schooling was a new institution, but after several generations of (mostly) products of public education "graduating" to become parents, this excuse is totally bogus.
