If children are not getting good parenting, that is not the schools fault. I think a heck of a lot is heaped on our teachers as it is . My sister in law is a primary school teacher and she leaves the house at 8am. She gets back at 6pm, and is generally marking papers, reports etc until 9pm. Being kicked, sworn at, spat at is all in a regular day for her. Its disgusting. And the parents do not want to know. She can only do so much in 6 hours a day.
Teachers have a family life as well - they don't need to be bringing up other peoples children as well. Thats what being a parent is all about.
