Agreed but kids are at their most influential up to the teenage years....

And that's when as a parent/relative you teach them what is acceptable and what is just for TV. I was never told not to watch anything when I was a kid and I turned out ok, I think.

Yes but I don't think it's just up to us parents - for about 13 years they spend almost as much time with teachers, as well as other kids who may not have parents with the same level of 'morals'. How do we account for them? We can teach them as much as we can but with these external influences it will be tough.

But teachers are just doing a job, like your local shop keeper. It is up to the parents to govern boundries, if you take full resonsabilty and blame for childs actions then it shows that you will adleast tech them the right things.

Again I agree to a point. Incidentally I'm not going to shirk parents's responsibilities but it is also up to the teachers to a level. As kids will often spend more time with teachers than their parents, they need to shoulder part of the burden.

I know you aint going to shirk your parental duties mate, you are a good guy.
But I think it's alot to ask for a teacher to guide each child personally, teachers are there to give genral advice while teaching the academics.

Apologies for any misunderstanding, I'm not saying it's down to the teachers alone, but they certain do have some input.

Ok Russ fair enough, but I have a sister in Law that is teacher that would give 100 reasons why they have no power to guide a child when they have no rules at home.

the flaws of teaching are quite clear these days from my point of view there is never enough one on one time with pupils as the system does not work like that but teachers can only do so much
its the parents who have to teach/advise them on certain aspects of there young lives not having a reliance on teachers to do it all thats NOT what they are there to teach they follow the curriculum
