[quote=Anonymous]It’s not impossible for kids to succeed without parental support, but it’s really, really, really hard. And let’s be real. There’s lack of parental support, and then there’s parental influence in the wrong direction (bad attitude toward school). If the general attitude toward school is one of contempt, kids feel that. No child is going to succeed if they show up thinking it’s okay to ignore/be combative to the teacher. Want to turn things around? YES, raise standards and expectations. But look around at your communities and create a cultural shift. School is important. Decorum is important. Does your child like to back-talk adults just for the fun of it? No school can fix that problem. [/quote]
