troll,

How are schools at fault for parent's selfishness and unrealistic expectations?

The selfishness and meism (and abuse) have been around for a long time. In the 'good old days', when two parents were the norm and only Daddy worked, the wife was left making sure the kids got the attention they needed. That was her expected roll. And she did it, often aided and abetted by "mother's little helper".

Having stated the problem, discussed causes, what can be realistically done. (It would be tactless to remind you of your earlier posts lecturing people who just rehash problems and offer no solution. Tactless yes, irresistible, no).

Regards,

John
