Besides, I'll wager that in 99.9% of the cases where a child is failing from school, it's the parents that are to blame. I see it all the time. My X-g/f works in a category 1 school, the lowest of the low grade-wise. They are generally from poor parents who had the children simply to collect more money from the government. There was even a case I know of where a parent wanted their girl classified as learning disabled, so they could get more money. I'm sorry, but that's some sick #$%^.
