Re: "One of the myths the teachers union likes to promote is we had at one time this seriously involved parental class which is somehow missing now. Far from it. Forty years ago, parents dropped their kids off at school and expected them to get educated. Expected them to learn how to read, write and do arithmetic. And by and large they did."

I disagree 50%, In some circles the involvement is greater and in some it is less and it skews along economic/ cultural lines.
