I'm blessed by being on an instance that disables downvotes, so I hadn't even noticed haha
fwiw I agree with you in that for the author to include this in their article is pretty weird. At some point it transformed from reporting into an op-ed.
Someone elsewhere in this thread mentioned that it is intended as commentary on another article, but even so, the author doesn't present what facts or other bits of evidence lead her to believe this can be attributed to a failure of the schools, which makes it even weirder as a commentary.
Indeed. Make of this what you will (anecdotal) but I can say with some certainty that I did some shady things in my younger years that could not be attributed to any parental or societal shortcomings.
