That has to be fake. What parent would permit a stranger lurking about their children?

  Seems to me that many do permit more or less a stranger to watch over their children in public schools. I mean really how much can parents possibly know about all the people that are watching over them. Have they sat down on a personal basis and gotten to know them. Likely not. And if they did would they let them teach. I am not trying to beat teachers up as I believe there are good ones. I'm just saying, how well do we really know them. I'm inclined to believe that if we knew them better we would he getting better results and less left leaning students graduating. Just saying.

Absurd! Are the people of Scotland going to try to stop this? I can't believe that is happening...

It's a hard enough rearing your own kids. Who would want even a contingent liability for someone else's?

Perhaps instead of looking at the parenting in Scotland they should be looking at the parenting in several central amerikan countries where parents are paying large amounts of money to send their children away with coyotes on an 1800 mile trip to paradise.

I believe the quote goes...

"It takes a village to raise an idiot..."
