Florida

is the point of view of many parents. I suspect it is true elsewhere.
The school system is not a panacea. No Child Left Behind undermined reality. Twenty percent of students will succeed, regardless. Sixty percent will fluctuate dependent on peer pressure, learning methods and classroom environment.
Twenty percent will struggle for most of their lives.
Florida's solution is choice schooling.
Many parents excuse their student's inability to flourish on the existing school. They select a multitude of opportunities that many students are denied.
I would suggest, that parental expectation outside their own responsibility is passing the buck.
This buck passing has been recognized by the legislature as a means to an end. A way to absolve the responsibilities of so many in our society.
Big problem that is beyond this page.
