One of the big problems I see is the fact that in many families today, they have neglected to teach their children what they should.
Up until recently I was a school custodian for 16 years who talked to a lot of teachers. They tell me of heart ache stories of children they have taught over the years.
Unfortunately, in the attempt to help these children schools have tried to take up the slack that parents have neglected.
Most teachers would rather teach things like reading writing and arithmetic, but say they are left with no choice but to teach thing that should be left to parents.
Unfortunately, this has caused as many problems as it has attempted to solve.
What we see in our schools today is a direct reflection of society.

I have also been told by a few teachers over the years, just how much they appreciate parents who don't reject their parental responsibilities. For the most part, their children are a pleasure to teach.
In British Columbia right now, the illegal strike that is happening by the teachers is caused in some respects by some of the things that teachers have been made to teach.
I know many a teacher, who are long time teachers who say that their job is a lot harder than it was back in their early teaching days.
