The common element in schools:

Well structured homes with good parenting = attentive and well behaved children

Poorly structured homes with no home learning = children doomed for failure

Schools can only educate children who want to learn and the children who want to learn are taught by their parents to pay attention.

These so called time wasters are not what we as a society should be focusing on.
