I agree that it isn't fair to measure a parent by how well their kids do in school, but I think it is perfectly reasonable to measure a parent by how well they support and encourage their children to get a basic education. For example, I know of two parents who have actively encouraged their kids to drop out of high school just months shy of graduation--and these were students who were going to graduate. So now they are going to be looking at providing for themselves without even having a high school diploma.
