One of my best friends for over 40 years taught 9th grade algebra in the LA school district until she retired in June. In order to graduate, you have to pass algebra, so she had kids who sat through her class 2 or 3 times. She taught in a predominately Hispanic school and said their attitude was - "I don't need all this education to do the work my parents do. If it's good enough for them, it's good enough for me." Their parents are not involved in their schooling at all. They don't show up for parent/teacher meetings, they don't respond to note/letters that require a response, they're just not involved or encouraging to their kids. (There are exceptions, but not many.)
