I don't agree - it's the PARENTS' job to produce productive members of society. Start telling schools that's their job, and your child's values and beliefs will be formed by their teachers, not their parents and family - do you really want to give the school that kind of power? Maybe if you're a lazy parent you do, but I personally do not.

Oh, and if the kids are sitting on their asses in front of Play Station, perhaps the PARENTS (are you seeing my theme here?) should detach them from the couch.
