They should be doing what they are paid for, which according to some business leaders is not being done well enough.

We live in a world that it is far from ideal but we still have laws, regulations and codes and we have various sanctions to enforce them.
It's true that there are people who preach one thing but practice another but then again there are people who practice what they preach.If that wasn't the case we would not have so many charities populated by caring people.
Teachers should not have to be the guardians of the health of the country.In an ideal world people would be responsible and mature enough to lead a healthy lifestyle of their own volition but given that we are not living in an ideal world the government has decreed as part of the Personal, Social and Health Education component of the curriculum that children need to learn about and live a healthy lifestyle. To show how important it is schools are practicing what they preach on behalf of the government.
As for the business world, the main complaint from businesses is that children leaving school do not have the necessary literacy and maths skills to get a job or to do it well but you do have to remember that for the first five years of life the child's first teachers are its parents.
Some parents help their children to learn by fostering the right qualities, attitudes, knowledge and skills. Sadly others don't which is why there is always a wide variance in children's abilities when they start school.
Schools can only build on the foundations laid down by parents and cannot perform miracles.In today's world children need as much support as possible to succeed.
