Not to mention, less parents are working with their children at home. Everything is put on the teachers and the teachers are blamed for it all as well. Strong family life is declining, kids are becoming lazy and not being pushed at home. I see many who play video games all day and night, come to class exhausted (from being up playing the games) and did not do their homework that was due.
This is true. It has been so long since good education was widespread that even parents no longer recognize what it is. They don't understand that they are responsible for their children's education, that the state is (at best) a caretaker. The parents believe it is the government's job, and it breeds laziness.
