Source refs: `video:predictive-history-mx93u4kza28@transcript:v1#seg-0010` - diagnosis: He argues that school reforms based on rich-parenting traits are more effective than self-control curricula but still fail because children's worldview is already formed, and parent behavior itself is hard to change.
