Well thanks for this comment, because it makes a good point. Holding teachers accountable? Sure. Holding parents accountable?? A lot of parents would like to do more, but these days, if you want to afford a house which has a bedroom for the kid, both parents have to be working. In the Bay Area, it's not even enough for both parents to be working--both parents have to be killing it very stressful jobs which require very long hours. It's so much easier to convert the guilt about bad parenting into anger at Teachers. Especially if you are continually worried about being laid off, while teachers have tenure. Especially if you have only 2 weeks vacation a year while the teachers get summer break. Especially if your employer is making unreasonable demands, while teachers have a strong union to advocate for them.
