I agree completely, and I've seen it from both a parenting / grandparenting / and my own experience one who struggled in school immensely whose father deserted him at 3 and was physically abused. But my grandfather was a great role model and after all the messed up roads that I traveled I came out the other end, I feel very blessed.but unfortunately if you continue to put the same broken ingredients in a bowl no matter how you stir it it comes out s*** cake. public school did not work for me and they basically just said you need to find something else for your kid and I fell through the cracks. But I enrolled in trade school where it all clicked, myself and a bunch of Vietnam vets who became my older brothers. So it's important to find a connection and a direction in which they can feel fulfilled and feel success.
