I agree, parents need to stop blaming the school system for their childrens behavior and lack of knowledge... If your kid is failing, its your responsability to sit down with them everyday and make sure they are doing there homework and studying... My daughter is at the top of her class not only because she is just a smart girl, but because I work with her constantly... but at the same time I don't put to much pressure on it to where she is going to hate it...
