Education does have to play a more socially responsible role, yes, but the main responsibility concerns their parenting.
Again, economics is a huge factor. School systems despite all the funding they do get cannot feasibly maintain proper instructor-to-student ratios due to financial limitations. And, in far too many cases, simple microeconomics is rather obviously why both parents are working and too absent from the lives and minds of their offspring.
Well, you say, that's why there are private schools. True, but I'll liken private schools to the parents that overcompensate by mollycoddling their children, and, ironically, tend to rarely really communicate providing yet another impetus for young people to tend to act out their aggressions.
