@jrcornel Thanks for catching that! I think it's time we quit blaming anyone but ourselves for our situation. We are the only one who can fix our problems.
So the real news here is that people who previously believed themselves too impoverished to give their children a proper education decided to find a way to educate their children themselves.

The fact is that there is a 1:1 correlation between parental support and involvement in education and educational outcomes. This correlation transcends all barriers, economic, racial, status, even education level.

It amazes me when I hear parents complain about the amount of homework schools send home with their kids, saying the time spent is WAY too much. Yet there's always time for another episode of the kardashians or to binge watch netflix.

Fact, your kids success or failure long term is up to you as a parent. You can do this while they're still little enough to learn from you and you literally have no other job in this life than that.

The reason why is that no one understands your kid like you do, so give them the best education you possibly can so that they are in a good position to take care of you when social security fails.

Plus your little hellion will stop disrupting class for the rest of the kids who's parents do want them to grow up to become good factory workers and burger flippers. ;)
