Thanks, Jeff. Unfortunately, it's difficult in the present system to get 
parents to take such an interest. One big problem is the silly notion that
education K-12 is a *right*. It's a privilege, no more. Let's have a policy
such that, if a student won't behave or won't try to learn, then we boot him
out. Then, when the parent of such a child learns that his child is on thin
ice, the best available discipline/learning tool will suddenly start
functioning.

Is it me, or is that the way it *used* to be?
