Schools don’t fail. Students fail.

The schools have failed the students.


That’s crap. The parents have failed their children.

Well, then, if the parents have failed the children, why aren’t the children getting an education?

It’s supposed to be the teachers who teach, not the parents. After all, they’re the *trained professionals*, right?

If the public education system worked, it would work with or without parental involvement. The fact that it doesn’t work without parental involvement proves that it doesn’t work at all. What works is the parents doing it.

Parents *helping their kids with homework* = homeschooling.

Public school kids who succeed do so in spite of the public education system, not because of it.
