[children’s health] now, whom can we blame

Here’s one article which blames the school for children’s ills: Canadian schools report:

43 per cent of boards had air-quality complaints in the 12 months prior to the end of the last academic year — and 30 per cent of boards did not respond to that question;
41 per cent of boards had cases of mould in those 12 months; 26 per cent did not respond;
32 per cent of school boards have counsellors in all their schools;
50 per cent of the boards have individual schools which have contracts with Coca-Cola or Pepsi to provide soft drinks and snacks;
26 per cent of school boards say they have daily physical education this year.

And speaking of childhood obesity, which we weren’t, more and more of the darlings are looking more and more like rolly-pollies as time goes by. So whom to blame here? We could try the fast food companies. Or we could blame the parents, finally. And what to do about it? Put them on Atkins?

Or fund schools properly, train teachers properly, teach children properly, including physical training and appeal to parents to start taking responsibility for their children? And stop covering up?
