I hear you on parental ownership. Even in the most elite NYC private schools, parents pay for tutoring or scramble to cover what they perceive to be gaps. For public schools, it's the same. A school may be good at Math, but weak at music, or vice versa. It's up to the parents to close the gaps. (And parents know their kids best)
