I think parents can help by being engaged in their kids education. I think a higher percentage of parents are checked out of what is happening at school and blames any issues with school on the Teachers and fails to look at what they are doing, or not doing, and how that effects their kids education.

[b]Too many parents are uninvolved with their kids education. They turn everything over to the school and their kids Teachers.[/b] They only get involved when the kid is failing or getting a D and then they are upset with the school/Teachers and not asking what the kid had done to earn that grade.  We saw that last year as parents were bemoaning distance learning, which sucked, and were openly discussing that they didn't care if their kid was logged on. What was the point? The Teachers were in jammies and phoning it in so why should their kid log on or do the assigned work? This ignored the fact that most Teachers were not in jammies and had worked hard to translate in class learning material to virtual learning, which is a totally different skill set. And the fact that Teachers did not have the same methods available to them to encourage a kid to complete work.

I agree this is the primary issue, and contrary to popular belief, neglect from parents happens far too often in high-SES schools. Parents wrongly assume it's a fantastic school due to rankings/ratings and that no further effort is required on their part. Then they have grievances when their child isn't turning out to be a 9/10 student at a 9/10 school.[/quote]
