Bob, oh I'm sure "[you] don't think it's as much parental apathy..." because if you were to admit that, all your statistics would be meaningless, and then the DeVos artifice, that you and the Kochs wholeheartedly endorse, would be exposed for what it really is, a heist of public education funds to support private schools and line the pockets of private enterprise with public money.  Furthermore, "...fail to motivate schools..." there you go again blaming the school system for the failure of parents. If your kid is not attending school, whose fault is it really?
