It all starts with the families people.  If the family supports education, then the child will thrive.  If the family just wants to sit back and coast and not support their kid, then the kid will fail.  The reason kids in the W district succeed is because their families support them by getting involved with volunteering and supporting them with homework, etc.  Sadly a lot of the lower income families either are overwhelmed with work schedules or are dealing with addiction problems.  I've seen both situations.[/quote]

"Families should be involved in their children's education" is not a policy, it's a desire.

Also, if the kid can't succeed at school unless the parent volunteers (with what? chaperoning? organizing staff appreciation lunches? selling wrapping paper?), then there's a problem with the education system.[/quote]

Here is a perfect example of the root problem.  Blaming policy for kids failure in school.  People, when will you wake up.  Any kid with half a brain can succeed in school if he has people around him or her who are supporting and encouraging him or her.  That is the way it has always worked.  The only thing that has changed is that people have become complacent and expect to much from government, when all you have to do is work hard.  A parent volunteering doesn't accomplish it, but the fact the parent volunteers is a sign that the parent cares.  Too many parents in this world who don't care and want to blame the system for their poor parenting.  Pathetic.[/quote]
