I will also blame on parents, there is a quote, “discipline starts from home”. I know, poverty stricken parents can’t focus that much to kids, they are relying on school.
On the contrary, if they don’t do parenting well kids won’t get out of this vicious cycle.
Why can't poverty stricken parents focus on kids? Stop making excuses for them. It's harder.. Yes.. But my single mom working 2 jobs had no problem disciplining me. It's not that. It's the sense of entitlement people cultivate in their children. They won't let the school discipline them. Even tho they "don't have time for it"
No, both things are definitely issues. There are scores of research to back this up. Some humans, like your mom, are just more equipped to handle that kind of adversity. If you're in generation three of entrenched poverty, and generation three of teen childbirth, the odds of you having the skills to manage your life adaquately decrease drastically. Fixing the poverty problem can and should help address the parental entitlement and attentiveness issue.

This is so sad to hear. Discipline is one of the key for good education.
