Why have families changed so much and are these changes linked with societal breakdowns?

I believe many values including respect and self discipline are learnt in the early years before children attend school. While I agree that life skills should be included in formal education unless these values are supported at home they will not become part of the individuals set of values or at least are unlikely to. I was a teacher I have 2 post graduate degrees and, perhaps even more important a parent of my 3 sons. It is interesting to note that teachers and schools now have very little power to ensure that even school rules are followed - without parent backup the school has no power. While I certainly believe in ensuring children are safe and that individual teachers also display respect and care the class room is becoming more and more difficult to facilitate learning in.
