I agree fully! When I was teaching, I used to tell people that. But then, of course, my own first two kids were a lot like thread-walkers. It may please you to know that by high school they became very responsible and helpful adults. My youngest, on the other hand, was perfect everywhere as a child -- until she hit high school and stopped being perfect ANYwhere for a few years. (She grew up to be fine too, but it took till she was 30 to do it.) All kids need to act out somewhere for a while.
