Are you saying that there aren't __NO__ shitty catholic parents then? Since catholic high-schools decisively outperform public-schools under every indicator? Are you saying that there are __NO__ shitty parents among those families who send their kids to music conservatories and private military academies who ALSO outperform all public schools?

Those must've been HUNDREDS of shitty parents who sent their kids to wealthy suburban schools this month in protest of the absence of educational options for inner city kids right? Yeah, it's really JUST shitty parenting that convinces every black community commentator from the streets all the way to CNN when they ALL criticize Obama's shallow pandering to the powerful teachers' union right?

You sound like you know what you're talking about, maybe you can explain the supreme court's decision to uphold Ohio's school voucher program after nearly a DECADE of success with their school voucher system. Did they release a special anti-shitty-parenting drug there? Did utah deploy some elite anti-shitty-parent gestapo squad when their school voucher program produced amazing results?

Come to think of it, what factual basis do you have that "shitty parenting" has any relevance at all to the fact that our socialized education system IMPRISONS students in failing schools and discourages excellence among their faculties?
What he is saying is that its not the schools that are so shitty, its the children from the start. and that a good child would perform well in any kind of school.
