What you say is so true!
Schools would be a thousand times better if more of the children's parents cared more about their children learning something. What makes things worse is that the children with the most problems- academic or behavioral- are almost always the ones with the parents that really don't care. And it only takes one or two problem kids to take what could be an excellent learning classroom and turn it into a disaster.
And its not just parents, as you say it is the whole society that is negative on education.
