I agree with you that you can’t always blame everything on the family because sometimes the child simply doesn’t care -- no matter how much the parents do -- and sometimes it’s the parents that couldn’t care less, but, I do think that the family plays a rather large role in how well students do in school none the less. I think that those few students who come from homes where education is not important yet do well in school do well because they are pushed by what their home life is like to want more for themselves and their future children. I think they are most likely a rarity. Usually if the student does well it is because they have a good home environment and if they don’t do well it is because their home environment is far from good. In response to my article I said that if a student’s scores go down (or stay down) on the state-wide tests then maybe we could implement some kind of tax on the parents. I think that would push them to help the child do better.
