I would agree with most of the postings. However, I think there has been a change in parental involvement which has a devastating effect on student achievement. Schools can and should implement best practice ideals and for some students that will be enough. Others students, however, won’t connect the importance of education to success if their parent(s) fail to show they value education and/or care if their child does well. There already are heavy burdens placed on schools and I don’t think we, as a society, should expect schools to replace the roles parents ought to play in their child’s education.
