The survey says 61 percent of parents rate their generation as
``fair'' or ``poor'' at raising children.
The non- partisan think tank Public Agenda conducted the study.
It found that parents believe they're not having much success in
teaching kids values they feel are important.
For example, about 91 percent said it's important to teach honesty -- but only a little more than half say they've been able to successfully teach it to their children.
