True. But I was addressing the depth of
expectation. Of course the school must maintain order in it's halls and classrooms. It's when a parent
expects the school to take on the entire task of molding a childs persona, even down to that childs core cultural and religious beliefs that I take umbrage. These are things the school should not be involved in. That is the function of family and, to a lesser degree, community.
It's all about degree.
This guy was going on about the public education system
creating lazy, undisciplined and "godless" ignoramuses. I think our problems go a bit deeper than to simply pin blame on
one of our institutions, then suggest forcing his own beliefs on a very diverse society as the only solution.
