leonI am in 100% agreement that our biggest issue in education, and dare I say America in general, is parenting. That is where our children need to be taught morals and then reinforced in school and church/synagogue/mosque or what have you. It starts at home.
Also, to Jim in response to your post above. I have to politely disagree when you say that the size of the classroom (# of students) doesn't make a difference. From viewing it as a student when younger, and as a parent now, I believe smaller classes are conducive to a better education through more personalized attention. Besides firmly believing that through observation it seems like common sense...best regards
