Parents make the difference in education more than teachers do.:
"At the end of the day, the question becomes one of parenting. Are the parents ensuring all homework is complete? Do the parents check their children's grades on-line to impose a reward/consequence system at home? Do the parents make sure schoolwork gets done before soccer practice? Do the parents contact the teachers with concerns? Did the parents raise their children to honor their position and the position of the teachers so that their children do not question directives such as, 'Do your homework?' The answer is good parenting and keeping parents accountable for their children's academic progress"
