Waynet,
I agree with the first part of your post but take issue with your sweeping generalization about parenting - I know many responsible people who are trying to raise their children well. But there are many who seem to feel that it is the school system's job to raise their children. Johnny can't pass the third grade because he can't
read? Obviously no parenting there.
Your "cure " was over emphasized to make a point, I'm sure but I don't want MY grandchildren exposed to those measures!
