Once I would have agreed with you but so much is going against "good parents" in today's world. Kids are not only facing peer pressure but today they have more exposure to drugs, etc.
Also consider the affect that teachers once had on students as authority figures. they once were the pillars of a community. Not today and what I am referencing is the reason school choice is such a serious issue with parents.
I went to a catholic grammar school and we all know about the Mother Superior stories. In 6th grade I fell in the playground. It resulted in a deep cut on my arm. I still carry the scar.
I was treated by the nurse and returned to the classroom. I had my sleeves rolled up. Mother Superior hardly glanced up and said OK warrior you can roll down your sleeves now. Teaching humility. Humility is a very attractive quality
