This has been a fascinating discussion. I think a lot of the problem stems from the culture of entitlement we're living in. It seems as though (in general) much of the parental responsibility for their child's education has been shifted onto the school system's shoulders. And if the parents aren't shouldering that responsibility, their kids are not going to be likely to either. They learn from example. So many work so hard to pass the blame around instead of taking responsibility for their decisions, their bodies, and their actions.
