The parents are the crucial part. It's my job as parent to be active in my kids education. The school, is just part of that. Making sure, my kids is in the right school, in a safe environment, and enjoying the process, are my tasks too. As parents, you are people managing your kids in the school.
- spacephysics 3y agoFully agree. I went through a few school systems, from a wealthy public school to a less fortunate city public school. Each have their own problems, but common amongst them were parents that were either mentally absent, or physically absent. In these cases, kids either ended up doing drugs and racing cars on windy roads, sometimes crashing into trees while high. Or getting into gangs or violence and having a record before 18.
- pelasaco 3y agoYou see it already in the elementary schools. In Germany, specifically, where you have different schools systems like and Hauptschule, Oberschule or Gymnasium, quite often kids that don't qualify to Gymnasium have parents that don't get involved in school topics, don't control home work, don't read with their kids, etc.
