And that’s an area where fingers can be pointed at more than just our public education system. Parents being the keystone. But it does take a village to raise a child and all those social interactions could benefit from more interest in helping the situation rather than chasing profit. (And regulation is not the answer since that is simply establishing lowest common denominator as all other laws do.)

Yes, lots of causes there. Not necessarily just because parents are being neglectful, if both parents are working overtime just to make ends meet for their family, they are not going to have a lot of time and energy to invest in assisting their children to receive a reasonable education.
