I agree that so much is down to the parents, but what do you think the answer is?
Do we punish or fine bad parents?
Make parents attend night school?
Make parents do a compulsory week helping in a school just as they have to do jury service?
Make parents pay some sort of bond that is repaid if and when their child graduates?
Threaten to take children away from incompetent parents or send in a social worker?
Make welfare benefirs dependent upon a certain minimum standard of parental support for their child?
These are just ideas off the top of my head. I am pretty much at a loss as to the solution.
What do you think?
