My guess is there’s a 1 to 1 relationship between parental involvement and academic success. Which proves (if one is willing to admit it) that which schools, teacher to student ratio, and spending/pupil are all irrelevant and actually an impediment to a good education.
Sounds like a unionized staffing problem, not a student problem.
D- to the writers of this story.
Which means money is not the answer to a better education.
Might have something to do with poor teachers, poor curriculum and union and government controls.
OK, guess that means we can stop throwing $$$$$$ at inner city schools.
