True, with a good education system and good teachers, the parents should not be involved.

You are absolutely insane. You can't drop your kid off at school like they are a car in need of an oil change. There are 1000 things parents do or don't that effect if the kid can even listen in class, let alone learn.

I hate to break it to you, but most American parents are not fit to parent and kids would by and large have better outcomes just living in boarding schools throughout their childhoods.

You're welcome to look at the statistics on child abuse, neglect, domestic violence and extreme poverty if you don't believe me.

What are you talking about? Home life is incredibly critical to a students success in school and life. With literally no communication, that situation would deteriorate fast.

With literally no communication, that student has bigger things to worry about than grades, like why are Mommy and Daddy shutting me out?

Way to completely miss the point of discussion here.

I wasn't trying to be serious, if that wasn't clear.
