Schools have a role crisis. We've tried to turn them into parents, doctors, jailers, counselors, AAG's, propogandists, therapists, nutritionists and soup kitchens, fashion arbiters, moral guides, . . . .
If we want them to do everything, we should just give them all our money, and our kids, 24/7.
But I don't think that's what we really want. I, for one, just want them to teach my kids the things that schools historically taught kids. I can do the rest.

I wouldn't lay all that at the feet of parents.
I also think that an awful lot of money is spent on some kids with particular needs, and so it's not quite the right comparison to include them in the mix.
