Apathy on the students part belongs on the doorstep of asshole parents.

When I was in school, the teachers were banned from using the 'strap' for about 2 years. They hung it on the wall as a testament to the GOOD OL DAYS. Instead, if I misbehaved in class or was doing poorly in the academic sense, my parents were brought in and they
a) sorted me out so fast it hurt or
b) there was no alternative. Go back and read a) again.

Parents not sending their kids to school with a proper breakfast?
A proper lunch?
Don't care about their child's academic performance?

The buck stops here, friends. I cannot change the world, but I can change my child's world. I REFUSE TO ACCEPT EXCUSES FOR POOR PERFORMANCE.

Johnny has a learning disability? Then Johnny is going to have a tough time in my house. Extra work, tutors, quizzes, and little leisure activities.

Jane is being bullied at school? Then the parents, teachers and bullies better watch out, because I will stop at nothing to protect her.

Fucking parents think that making more money is equivalent to raising children. Nice clothes and cool toys only go so far to help a dumbass feel good about themselves.

Don't miss the forest for the trees people. I will not respond to attacks of "It's not my fault my kid has a learning disability..." Look at the solution instead of blaming someone/thing for the problem.

How can society accept any excuse at ALL for parents not feeding their children? That was a serious question, not a rhetorical one...
