Thats right, teach them what's right and what's wrong, moraly and other wise.
Do the basics with your kids right from BL**dy jump street, Number, shapes, ARITHMATIC, colors and social studies world studies and why things like bullying and stealing and the rest are just PLain wrong!! They will teach what they will at school, the rest is up the the parent and guardians of our chilren and the futures.

Forgive my most pompast tirade, hit a sore point with me that's all.

You're asking an awful lot from the parents. My mother teaches high school in an inner city public school, and aside from everything else she has to teach, they have now added teaching about abuse in relationships. Why? A couple years ago high school sweethearts (at the time college age) had been abusing each other, then one day the boyfriend killed the girlfriend and then himself. Since their relationship started in high school it has now fallen on the teachers to teach kids about this.
