Try having a parent teacher conference with a child who is "failing" or has consistently bad behavior. Most of these parents who SAY they want this, end up being the complete opposite when they realize it is THEIR kid with the issues. Then it becomes a blame game of who is at fault.. and trust me it is never the kid or the family... You can talk to parents who say that, but when it is their own kid that has the issue it is suddenly the school's and teacher's fault for the issue.
