I always wonder why, in discussions of the deficiencies of American education, so little attention is paid to the real problem. It's not the teachers, the teachers unions, the government bureaucracy, or any other similar entity. It's the parents. If parents do not teach their children basic human ethics and the basic skills of interpersonal relations, no school will be able to manage them. If parents do not provide their children with respect for adults and for legitimate authority, if parents do not teach children to respect themselves and their peers, no school can function. If parents do not instill in their children a desire for education and self-improvement, no school can make anything of them. If parents do not participate in and contribute to the day to day educational process, if parents do not share the responsibility of education, no school can effectively teach. Schools are failing because we have assigned them an impossible task: compensating for the deficiencies of the American parent. There is very little that Government can do about this. I know it's not PC to say it, but I'll say it anyway.
