One of the biggest issues I see is that either no one knows how, or no one cares to teach bowling etiquette anymore. Too many times I've seen a house turn into romper room because parents think it's a McDonald's playground. Lots of proprietors don't do anything for fear of running off business. It's few and far between I see a set of parents (which is an anomaly nowadays anyway) that keep their kids in check. I've actually gone out of my way to congratulate a few of them when they do. Here and there I've seen a manager or two that will go out and "correct" ill behavior, but even that has risks if the group decides that just because they paid for bowling, they own the joint.
