Don't be naive that just because teachers require a bachelor's degree doesn't automatically mean that they're great teachers, especially in a public school setting. I've peer tutored math in the past where I had to help out a teacher that forgot a lot of her algebra 2, and it was kinda really sad. 

You can make all the judgements you want, but I won't. You're not in their shoes, so you can't fully comprehend their situation.

Make him do better next time ? Cause otherwise the high end world ain't gonna accept him if he keeps going like this ... 

My parents reminded me of how it was like to be poor when I had questionable academic performance so to cut the BS I went to university to study engineering!

The kid should be even lucky that he's getting fed, sanitized, and getting a free education! Why should parents have to accept their children unconditionally ?!

@Bold Some parents just can't do that like my dad comng nowhere near close to high school education!

You have to understand there are vast cultures differences between a kid that goes to a public school in downtown Memphis to whatever upbringing you've had. I applaud the parent for taking an active role in child rearing and doing all he can from allowing his kids to go down a bad path.

Sounds like my life haha.

Exactly LOL ... 

And just like you I have a younger sibling that's a lazy bum ... 

I want to break the cycle of BS and they know they can do it too if they try ...
