Laying all the blame on the school system isn't right. Students and parents need to ask themselves what they need to do in order to do better in school.
Part of the problem is with students themselves. It's these students who don't care about school, cutting classes, not focusing and doing their work, not keeping up with the material. This is the problem.
A powerful way to reduce the achievement gap is to reduce the academic gap that opens between birth and preschool. Children of color (esp. African American children) arrive at school less ready to learn than others. Even when you control for parent education levels across races this gap persists.
Parenting styles? A culture disconnected from academic achievement?
