Very true....I don't really have a beef with the schools. I've always figured it was up to the parents to make sure their kids turn out OK. You get out of school what you put into it. The teachers are there, the books are there, and you can sit in class and goof off or pay attention. But kids are kids so the parents have to be responsible too and decide whether they are willing to make the effort to oversee their children.

But like my dad used to say..."the world needs ditch diggers, too." There's a place for everyone.
