blame on the schools. Much of the blame also
goes to the parents who don't/won't instill the need for education. People
need to take responsibility and not look for the easy scapegoat. Parents
have a responsibility to their children. The school system is not a means
to escape that responsibility.


I agree craig. In my home it's mandatory to have good grades and do well in
school. Yes it's hard finding the energy to help three kids with their
homework and attend their school functions after working all day but it's my
responsibility to make sure they get a good education. My parents didn't get
involved in my schooling and when I got in high school my grades suffered
because I screwed off and it cost me a architectural career. It took me
years to catch up in order to make a good living but I'll still never be an
architect
