A lot of the blame placed on schools belongs with parents who are asking the schools to do their job.


Steve, this is the standard "cop out" for the educational establishment. When parents complain their kids are not getting a good education, blame them. There has never been a time in the history of compulsory schooling when you had all parents motivating their children, and any educational system that is based on the concept that the parents will make the kids learn will fail.

We force these children to go to school. Many don't want to be there, and their parents don't care. But we make it illegal for them not to go, and we will jail their parents, and/or take the kids away from them if they don't obey.

So it has to be a system that takes the kids for six hours a day, five days a week, and teaches them the basics they need to know. If the parents are helpful, fine, but don't count on it.
