There it is. It all boils down to parental involvement. If a school doesn't have parents staying on top of things, the kids are doomed.
“””There it is. It all boils down to parental involvement. If a school doesn’t have parents staying on top of things, the kids are doomed.””
This is not entirely true. We spent a lot of time trying to make the curriculum the public school had work. In the end we had to pull our kids out to get some decent curriculum to teach them with. Our involvement in our public school had no effect in getting our kids to learn. We talked to the teachers daily and still they were falling behind.
Parent involvement in public school is not the only thing that will ensure that your kid succeed or not. I will agree that it is very important to have parental involvement but it is not the only thing holding kids back.
