People from other Countries, poor and not knowing English come to our Schools and get straight A's because their Parents push them to get A's.
When I first landed in Oklahoma I was told to not pick an area because I liked it but to pick it because of the school district.

For many years the policy was to educate boys enough to work in the oil fields and women enough to know how to run a home. I thought this was some kind of joke until I started looking into it and found out there was a great deal of truth to it.

But the schools did deliver what the public wanted. And the public (made up of the Parents) wanted just that. So the crux of your comment is right on the money.
