No - i dont think thats right at all. It
IS a parents duty to tech their kids right and wrong, good and bad, how society expects them to behave. It always has been and it always will be. It is a schools duty to teach them maths english science. Teachers have already been forced to become cousellors and religious advisors thanks to stupid gvmt legislation. They should not be expected to replace a childs parents totally!
The parents that shirk their responsibility in this area, are the parents that don't bother making sure their kids go to school (so taching them in school wont work). So these kids just fall out opf the loop, it is not the schools job to teach them how to be humans, and the parents dont bother. = Chavs/Neds.
The situation needs to be addressed by taking it to the parents. Punish them for not teaching them right or wrong, punish them for not sending their kids to school. If you poke eachother and bring a child into the world it is your duty to enable the child to function in its environment.
