X is right. The core problem isn't with the schools, or with the teachers, or even with society.

It's with the parents.

I could tell you stories you wouldn't believe. Just one. My friend, the Sheriff, brought a middle school boy home to his mother (divorced, no father) at about midnight one night. The boy had been drinking and had tried with three other boys to steal a car for joyriding.

The mother's response? "You deal with it. I don't have time now -- I'm watching Jay Leno."

Untypical? Extreme?

I wish.
