Whose fault is it?

For years I've been saying that one of the problems in today's society is that parents refuse to believe their children can do anything wrong -- especially in school. This story is a prime example of that. In Kansas, 28 students were given failing marks because they cheated (plagarized) on an assignment. What did the parents of these students do? Of course they complained to the school board, which insisted the teacher make the assignment only 30 percent of the students' total grade instead of 50 percent. The teacher resigned. Good for her!
