Who will disagree that our basic family and school discipline/learning structures require a fresh approach? Busy parents, plus parents who don’t care, generate generations of children who are failing to learn even the basics. This collapse of the family, as the source for manners, civility and the desire to learn, places an undue demand on our teachers/school systems, and ultimately, the courts/police/corrections systems.
What might turn the tide could be a long-term teacher-to-student program. Selected instructors would stay with a class for 12 years – as a homeroom teacher – who would continue with the same group of students every year until graduation. This way, each child would begin every day with the same long-term responsible adult to identify with and relate to during his/her formative years.
Parents, and this unique teacher, would become de facto partners in the development of a competent citizen. This special instructor would also be in the extraordinary position of being able to monitor his or her students for signs of parental abuse, learning deficiencies or other problems by observing year-to-year changes.
Teachers selected for this special 12-year commitment should receive extra incentives such as one full year off — with pay — for each 12-year stint.

This began during the 1970s, when people began advocating that the schools teach sex education, saying that parents weren’t doing a good enough job of it. Is there a more natural progression than schools teaching students about normal sex to teachers including homosexual sex, because, after all, they can’t discriminate against homosexuals, can they?
