<p>^Ok, but what I am asking is, given that apparently most parents do not care enough about their childrens’ educations, then is any effort at all to teach these children a lost cause? Or should we be looking for a different model of education that does not rely on parental participation because it <em>is</em> possible for kids to learn without their parents, but not under the current system that relies so much on parental participation?</p>
