Parents play a vital role -- but where they can't the State has a vital interest in helping all children to reach their full potential -- and right now we are about as far from that as you can get. You cite your good fortune in America and your educational experience is a key part of that. You might not be aware of what has happened to schools in America over the last generation, and we could argue many of the fine points. But at this point in time there is one stark and undebatable reality in public education -- it is financially bankrupt and as these schools go so goes America. California, to pick one of many states, is destined to be a place where schools take a back seat to prisons in terms of overall funding -- it is tragic. You might not mean to be part of the problem -- but you are if you want to blame it on parents and teachers without taking into account how far down the drain the whole system has already been flushed by underfunding it.
