This is so obviously true; I don't see how it can even be considered "controversial."

Seriously, is there some controversy over this view?[/quote]

Apparently so. Do you see any schools for parents on how to raise their children?[/quote]

DP -- I would fully support tax dollars going to adding parenting classes to the wrap around services at schools in high poverty areas.  If I had my way, parents who get any form of social services and who don't have jobs would  be required to be occupied with remedial coursework, job training, parenting classes, cooking and nutrition classes, personal finance classes, and the like.  We have to break the cycle of poverty.  [/quote]
But they just don’t show up unless there is some very direct incentive. [/quote]
