She has to watch as some kids refuse to do the reading and turn in nothing. No amount of handholding or encouragement works. Emails and notes home produce no response. She's eager to help and will go to almost any length to teach these kids, but when both the kids and their parents won't engage, she's stuck.
Agree parents have to take responsibility for their kid's education.
Not having a proper education will lead to people being of a lower social class as we still today live in a class system.
Americans have the luxury of knowing that even with subpar education, they can "get by" in life. Foreigners don't have that luxury, often they may not be able to eat anything but rice without an education. Learning a foreign language such as English isn't an option for them.
Kids might have more motivation in high school if we switched to a defacto 3yr college system instead of 4 years. No reason why at least 1/2 of kids can't earn at least 30 credits worth of AP courses in high school. High school should be treated as a prep school for college.
