I think today there is much more burden on the parent to be proactive in raising their kids.

Yep! And that is part of the problem. I have students whose parents are my age (I'm only 32 and teach 10th grade). Some of the paretns are friend instead of parent. It is actually quite sad! Not a lot I can do about it. I just try to be a positive role model and hope for the best!
