But seriously, don't blame the schools/teachers/administration. Teach your kids what's important. School is a place to learn about following stupid rules and understanding how bureaucracy works (and hopefully how to manipulate it).

I don't trust the schools to teach my kids (although they do attend) and I don't have the patience to homeschool them - but I do tons of supplemental instruction in the home (mostly history, religion, poetry and mythology - and how these are interconnected.)

Hopefully they grow up to be autodidacts like me.
I only expect them to do their job in as much as they are supposed to putting forth the effort to teach the kids, as well as protect them. If they are going to jump up and down because young girls are wearing miniskirts and low cut shirts, then they also need to keep the "cool" kids from making life hell for other kids, stop people from bullying, etc etc.


As best they can, of course.
