Josh McDowell question!!!?

Question

Josh McDowell was at our church a while back and was talking about parenting in today's world.  He referenced a book where he talks about parents and their interaction with school.  He makes the statement that the worst thing a parent can do for their kids is actually take their sides if there is an issue at school.  He said "If the teachers said your kid is acting up ... he/she is.".  My question is:

Does anyone know what book that reference was made in?
or 
Does anyone know where I could find the online reference of that? 

Thanks

I'm not 100% for sure that this quote is in this book, but the subject matter leads me to believe so.

It's called:  "The Disconnected Generation."

Dusty Scribe has a very good book link to refer to. One Amazon reviewer noted:

"We read the book with great relief. We were sure our teenagers were the only ones behaving and speaking a language we did not understand. After reading the book and trying some of the techniques suggested, we can only describe it as the Rosetta Stone of teen language."

I do not know.

The comedian Carlos Mencia made a similar point though. Parents need to step up and take responsibility for trouble their child is getting into instead of blindly defending them.
