I think parents have too much say over the system, and it's MUCH too focused on actual grades instead of learning.

As a product from public and private schools, there's not much difference, other than restrictions, but I know I fought my battles WITHOUT my mom. And she taught in the damn school- so many parents went bitching into the office because little Jessica got a B+ when she deserved an A.

If my kid came home with a B, and was pissed about it, I'd tell him to work harder and stop bitching about it!
