What are the causes of the downfall of youth other than parents and individual?

The film and music industry carry some of that blame. So do the schools. It's so hard to attract good teachers now. Teaching in public school is not about teaching kids how to create, how to think, how to infer, how to solve a problem in several ways...not just one. When Apollo 13 was stuck up in space and it was very probable those astronauts would not come home at all, the director at NASA called 23 of his scientists into a room and said, " You are the brightest in this field. You truly are rocket scientists. Do not come out of this room until you have found a way to get our boys home again." And... several hours later they came out of that room and they had a plan that worked. Schools need to have that same approach. Rather than just teaching to a state test all year, students should be taught how to solve problems in a group and how to solve it many ways. Schools need to allow teachers to be creative once again, and many students wouldn't be so bored. And there needs to be some sort of regulations on the entertainment industry, but our Constitution won't allow it.
