Teachers/Education systems are the dumping ground for many of society's undesirable tasks.

I agree, but it's also a case of many parents not being equipped enough themselves to be able to handle the responsibility (not always their fault), and it's also the case of the teachers having to face too much, or too little. The problem is the governments and the fact they listen to all the mamby pamby ideas that come out and then legislate into law things which, for the most part, they haven't a clue about. That's where the trouble begins.

The laws eventually take both the parents and the teachers out of the loop, so that neither can exercise their proper responsibilities towards the children.
