The only solution that I see is what I experienced in my work with teen agers. That of being interested in them. So much so that one must be INVOLVED... in their lives. And not just in a superficial way. The one article I could not copy from today's New York Times was on the relevance of raising the grades in a school where the teachers,parents,administrator all involved themselves.They set standards for the work to be accomplished and stressed the old three RRR.s... The result were remarkable. One cannot just build a structure and place people inside and say now be grateful. It takes forming groups who are interested not preserving the status quo. I don't presume to have the answers but I did enjoy helping to solve the problems as a team.. In schools I really think that the parents have to be involved.. Of course I ran an alternative school too and this was a wonderful working laboratory where I learned so much. Very rewarding seeing the fruits of ones efforts. Trouble with retirement is that one has to just go inward and find those rewards that once were attributable to others....
