That's quite true but look at what kiddies do for themselves today. Not much. Today they're driven to school, sport, friends' houses, shopping centres etc. Parenting age folk these days seem very insecure in themselves and expect the child's upbringing to be managed for them or are afraid to stamp their authority.
I'm sure there are current parents who do rear their offspring successfully without help but they seem to be scarce on the ground.

A case in point. My wife, who is an 'Essential Service' person, had cause to visit the Caboolture shopping centre today. She said that it was full of people, with children everywhere! Now, where is the parental control in that? I've never subscribed to the 'Gene Pool' theory but it's starting to look realistic to me.

It won't just be laziness that parents will be realising wasn't the teacher or the schools problem.
