Not at all. I am saying it takes a lot more than high expectations from the school. Every time someone wants to address educational shortcomings, they point to what educators can do better, differently, etc. We should always be looking at what we can do better, but if it is ONLY coming from the school, it really won’t change much.
In my experience, which is admittedly limited to me, parents love accountability until it affects their own kids adversely. We like the philosophy of high standards and accountability until the A student struggles to get a C in a class that they need for the college they want to get into. Or until it means their child won’t graduate.
