I remember reading somewhere that there is no such thing as a bad child just a bad parent.
I'm a great believer that we are a product of our environment.
If you instill in your children from an early age through positive and negative reinforcement those morals and virtures etc which will aid them in succeeding in society, then life would be much easier for teachers IMO as their role then predominately reverts to teaching not parenting.
