I come from a lower SES background, and one thing you don't find, and that is often echoed by other poster who come from a similar background is that higher SES parents are moe involved in their schools.  Often ridiculously so.

If everyone that was of a lower SES started demanding more of their schools more would happen.[/quote]

Yes, if everyone with a lower SES behaved more like people with a high SES, then the schools wouldn't have the problems that go with having lots of students with low-SES parents. That kind of goes without saying. It's not a policy solution, though. Unless you think that, "Hey! Poors! Start behaving more like affluent people!" is a policy solution?

A policy of personal responsibility and accountability might change uninvolved parents' behavior. But continued policies of enabling and excuses will not. Since Maryland is a socially and fiscally liberal state, it will continue more of the same, the latter.  Generational government dependency. [/quote]
