I'd rather have the kid held back than dead. You are blaming the school for the parent's irresponsiblity. It's the parents' responsibility to make sure their children are in school. And if I were a teacher and I saw some kid outside with a gun you can bet I would call the police and lock down the school. That's has been one of the main problems with schools for the past forty years. Parents drop off their kids and expect the teachers to not only teach but to RAISE the children. People are having children that they fail, fail, fail to discipline and help with their education. It is not the schools' job to teach children resonsibility and morality. IT IS THE PARENTS' RESPONSIBILITY! If you don't like the system then homeschool like alot of people are doing. That's what I plan to do.

It's a parents obligation to see to the education of their kids. Some delegate it- fob it off on the goverment and run their kids through the brainwashing centers called public schools, with all that entails - others, who care about their kids, and what kind of people they'll be when they grow up, make the domestic sacrifices neccesary to take care of that obligation themselves.
