No curriculum left behind

Everyone, especially high schoolers, complain about how our school system operates. True it has its flaws, but the government is trying to correct these. Ok, 'No Child Left Behind' might not have worked like we hoped, but it was at least an effort. There are tutors on college campuses to help people with learning disabilities and special education classes in high school as well. So, at least we are trying to make an effort.
Also there's a problem with the way our society thinks that leads to the schools getting slandered. When was it suddenly the school's fault a child misbehaved? At some point, we stopped pointing the fingers at the real culprits when kids were fighting and bullying each other: the parents. Why does the school have to raise kids as well as educate them? Then when the school tries to punish the kids, suddenly they are crossing the line. It's not the school's responsibility to reign in bad behavior. On the contrary, I propose we get rid of detentions. But in it's place, when a child does something drastic (like bullying or hitting another person) the parents get notified. If it happens a second time, it'll be up to the school to either suspend the child or give them one more chance. Also, the child should receive counselling in case it is a cry for help.
