[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]some parents care, some don't. it's not really an issue with MCPS. it's an issue w/ families' involvement (or lack thereof)[/quote]
Some parents have the agency to be involved, both with job flexibility and income.[/quote]

Will agree the earlier poster is living in a bubble. Not everyone has the ability or flexibility to do this. In fact, many wealthier families just outsource it even which others can't even consider.[/quote]

Yes, the PP is missing the point and living in an elitist bubble, but I would argue something more: attributing outcomes to "lack of parental involvement" misses the point of public education in the United States. Our public education system was designed to provide opportunities to ALL kids. If you decide a child is not worthy of investment because you don't approve of their parents, or don't think their parents are wealthy enough to deserve for their child to have opportunities, you are making a fundamentaly unAmerican argument.
