not to threadjack or anything, but i've finally read something posted by rb that, not only can i understand in it's entirety, but totally agree with in substance (not that i've ever not agreed with his stances before...)
i have no answers in terms of how to address the problem(s) set forth in the OP, but it would seem that the values instilled in children by the parental units are somewhat lacking regarding the educational process...
