What are some real consequences for poor academic behaviour that you would suggest a teacher implement in that situation?
Are you my wife? How did you find out about CP....this is my domain!

(what's for dinner, need me to go to the store?)

Joking of course, but to your point (it is a narrative I hear every night), I would suggest that increased assistance in the classroom would certainly be a starting point.
