Bureaucracy and political correctness, I know how to fix. Not sure how to fix bad parenting, or even what it is. My parents, whom I love dearly, were abysmal at parenting by any standards. Yet my siblings were excellent students, graduated with honors and have been quite successful in life. My friend had what most would define as perfect parents - his mother was an English teacher and won several Teacher of the Year awards - yet he did poorly in school, and is still struggling to get by. Exceptions, perhaps, to the poor parents cause poor students rule. I do know that parents who take an interest in their child's education tend to be a force for improvement at the local school. Unfortunately, in today's economy, that is not always possible.
