Ask any teacher or read any study: the kids who perform best at school are the ones whose parents support them the most.
Parental involvment is a better predictor of student success than sex, race, religion, even parental income level.
The high performing student that uses school to be away from neglectful parents is a unicorn; everyone talks about them but no one's ever seen one. Kids whose parents don't care simply drop out.
But hey, maybe if we throw enough money at "acredited" teachers, that will somehow change.
EXCELLENT point.
