the "underachievement" (not sure I like that characterization, but...) in schools

So perhaps one should create a "grade system" for the community and it's businesses, based on how much they are putting into educating parents, or helping them make a living, etc. The failing grades the community and business gets for their selfish attitudes could be added back in to offset teacher's so-called performance ratings...'cause this is a group effort, not just an individual one.
