You have a point .. when I had my kids in pre-school (I know it's not like regular school) .. every September thru Nove/Dec I would always have discipline problems with them when they came home from school every day.
When it came time to have them start elemenary school, I choose to put them in catholic school. They are still influenced by their peers, but I don't have a problem with discipline like I use to.
So, yes I agree parents play a big role with kids ... but so do the teachers

Their teachers' influence is undoubtedly significant.
Consider, though, that your kids' peers probably have parents who are raising them a lot like you're raising yours. :=)
