Yes, it is ultimately a parent's responsibility to ensure high school graduates accept responsibility for their choices and educational accomplishments. But it is increasingly difficult for parents to accomplish that if their children spend 35-40 hours per week in LA public schools.

I do pretty well with my private school education that landed me a solid 19 ACT score, and zero college education. My parents were solid, and my kids will do just as well because of solid parenting.
We put too much emphasis on "education", teach kids to live and be hungry for more and they will find their way happily and successfully.
