The wife of one of my good friends was on the county school board for 12 years. According to her, it was an unspoken secret was that parental involvement was the biggest predictor of / contributor to student success. The reason it was taboo was because you absolutely cannot expect anything from the parents. It was political suicide.
I would put dollars on the table that such is already happening for every parent that is willing and able to do it, because they were already doing it before too.
100% this, and all those parents are also now wondering and worrying what will happen to their child next school year, when they're either at or ahead of grade level, but half their class is most of a semester behind.
I had been reasonably happy in public elementary school until now, but am seriously considering private schools for next year because I'm convinced this reacclimation process will be much, much smoother with fewer regressions.
It was taboo from a political perspective. You can't tell parents they are failing their children, and still expect them to vote for you next election...
