All to often parents are not engaged in their kids education.

We got to know our kids teachers and if we heard anything that our child physically or in any way abused our kids they would not be at all happy with what we would do to correct their behavior. Luckily we were hardly tested.

Only thing I can think of is once upon a time a teacher said our son missed a few homework assignments. That did not happen again.
