I still need to know how you'll ensure that the children of these unconcerned and uninvolved parents will be adequately educated.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Since we can't help **all** of the disadvantaged students, then we should subject **all** of student to a model of schooling that seems to produce results only for functional families.

Do we **really** know if the government school model working optimally for academcially successful children?

The academically successful children very well may be succeeding **in spite** of being institutionalized, not because of it. If these children are learning 99% of what they know due to “afterschooling”, then perhaps these children are learning **in spite** of being institutionalized, not because of it.

At every turn the teachers unions fight innovation and privatization.

Nice deflection. I asked you what model would work for dysfunctional families where the parents refuse to take responsibility - how do you make parents accountable?

Of course, our current model of schooling was designed when a much larger proportion of families were functional. The current breakdown of the family is causing problems in many areas, not just the schools.
