Knowing when to make generalizations and being mindful of what we do with them are important.

Parents don't want to parent.

To assume that all parents are the same is to generalize.
It reminds me of our office discussion on the topic. As no two groups are alike, generalizations are inherently erroneous.

We run the risk of generalizing when we make judgments about other people or ourselves. Before we have an opportunity to learn, we might hate, hurt, and harass. Worst of all, we can use generalizations to defend our behavior. It creates dread and rage toward entire groups of people and shuts the door to new information and individualism. Thus, it's important to recognize when we're doing it, when it's beneficial, and when it results in errors and injustices.

But I do get what you mean and where you are coming from, @bozz, !LOL
Unfortunately, or fortunately, the school district is in the business of educating the child (as well as the parent/s). And it does take the whole village!
