First, I would like to thank Wendy for the prompt, although it is somewhat uninteresting.
Whose fault is it that the public school system is in the tubes? Personally, I blame society as a whole. Look at the things that kids are emulating as they grow up. There are countless rap videos depicting various acts that are less than reputable. There are a million violent video games that have the potential to warp childrens’ minds. Also, look
at the movies that are coming out. There is the movie, Hostel. It’s just porn and gore.
However, I don’t blame a single one of these things for the downfall of public schools. I blame the parents. No matter what else is in the world, kids take in the most input from their parents.
Girls are getting pregnant at younger and younger ages. How can we expect a baby to raise a baby? It’s not her fault though. It’s her parents’ fault. They didn’t seem to push the subject of protected sex very well. “Protecting” kids from sex just means that they are not prepared when they finally do the deed, as it were.
Parents need to teach kids the difference between fiction and reality. No kid would think that it’s okay to imitate the actions in a violent video game unless they had a really screwed up childhood.
It’s the parents’ fault and no one else’s. Place the blame where it belongs and actually do something about it.

Yeah, it seems like as the years go by, parenting keeps on going down the drain. Concerning young pregnant girls, I hate it when people get on to them about what they did. How can anyone expect a 13-year old girl to know any better if her parents did not talk to her about sex?
I agree with you to an extent on your opinion. I do think that parenting has a big part to do with how you turn out when you become older. But, I do think you have to have self motivation to do your work. It's not completely the parents fault, but they do play a role.
