について Usage and Honorifics Subject


I have the following sentence to translate.

[code]

    父母や教師達は、もっとよく子どもの教育について、考えていただきたいものだ。
    
[/code]

So far I have the following.

[code]

    Parents and teachers "do something" better with children's education and they want the 
    children to think. 
    
[/code]

I am having trouble understanding which `つく` verb is being used.

And I also am not sure who has the desire in the sentence. I think it's the
parents and teachers as they have the subject marker. But then the `いただきたい` is
weird because of the honorifics. Did the subject of the sentence change?




について is a fixed expression meaning "regarding, concerning, ..." (here "about"
also works) and [derives from 就く or
付く](http://kotobank.jp/word/%E3%81%AB%E5%B0%B1%E3%81%84%E3%81%A6?dic=daijisen&oid=14047000),
although it is usually written in かな.
