The reason all these things happen is due to previous generations not paying any attention to the changes in curriculum and policy in the public school system. You’re witnessing the product of their parents. Or more accurately, (in most cases) their grandparents.
This is most of the root of the problem - and those who have taken over the disgraceful aspects of "public education" took advantage of that inattention on the art of those who own the system.. The parents who stay deeply involved with the education and training of their kids and who expect/demand quality outcomes, seem to be in the minority. They are raising what amounts to a breed apart - the gap between the have and have not is widening by the day. It is a sad and frustrating challenge for those have nots who eventually realize their shortcomings and try to make up the gap later in life.
Abortion is a horrible practice, and that horror also is probably saving a whole bunch of kids from having uncaring and irresponsible parents. So much for the free-love drug culture spawned in the 60s and its inevitable products in society today.
