If the parents are not at fault then who is? Seriously.

If my kids misbehave as they do, I don't find excuses for it in the latest political scandal. I look to myself and recognise that I have obviously not got the message across properly so I try something else. Yes it's frustrating, and yes it's hard and it's also largely thankless, but kids don't ask to be born. Parents decide to have them.

Society starts at home within the family. Fix those issues and you'll fix the problems of society at large.

eta: I don't believe it's a teacher's responsibility to teach kids morals or right from wrong. A teacher's role is to facilitate learning. no more.
