Any parent that gives schools total responsibility for their kids education, get the results they should expect. If you are involved with your kids, then you will know what they are being taught (or not taught). My kids are brilliant, honor students. I give the schools some credit, but I give most credit to their mother, and grandparents, and aunts,and uncles, who quiz them at the dinner table. Who buy them books, instead of video games. Who have given them critical thinking skills, by not accepting "I don't know" as an answer to any questions.
