Perhaps schools should teach how to use a knife & fork, the 3R's, and how to be better parents.
Soon these children will be having children,frightening. Who if not school, is going to put some structure in their lives?
Just because a child doesn't have a father does this make them automatically thick? Unable to learn?
I think the onus is put on schools far too much. It should be shifted back onto parents - make them do their job or make them face some serious consequences. Right now it seems that schools are expected not only to educate, but to bring up children as well.
