[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And no one was blaming higher needs on poor parenting. I AM saying that in the absence of good parenting, academic achievement won’t improve — even with more and more and more funding.[/quote]

A not insignificant portion of special needs is definitely a direct result of poor parenting. Babies don't get to choose if their gestational years are inside an obese or addicted parent. Kids aren't buying their own food to stuff their mouths with 3000 calories of soda and chips. Infants aren't buying their own ipads and phones to watch cartoons with. Kids don't learn on their own that life without rules and consequences is the only rule. I see this every single day and these families are not specific to any one demographic except the "poor parenting" one.[/quote]

Dude. Many kids are born with actual disabilities that have nothing to do with unhealthy lifestyle choices and/or bad parenting.

But I guess if you’re including kids with behavioral issues not linked to a disability, then yeah that’s probably just poor parenting.

With good parenting, kids with special needs can make progress toward their educational goals.

But without good parenting, no amount of money is going to solve that problem.[/quote]
