Joan Thom, Hawthorne writes,

"In all the comments I've read I don't see anyone placing responsibility on 
the PARENTS of the children. The facts I want to know behind each test score is 
how many days the child has been in school and how many different schools the 
child has attended. Everyone makes it sound like it's always the schools 
fault..."

Doug Mann responds: 

The discussion is about conditions in the schools that affect student 
outcomes, and what can be done by the schools to close the access / achievement gap. 
I haven't seen anyone state that parents have no affect on outcomes.
