Yep, the ones who attend conferences are the parents of the kids whose
effort and results are generally the best. Can't say it publicly, or in
the lounge, which might be wired, because it's not the position of the
NEA, but over partitions in the john most teachers will confess to
believing that parental concern may be the reason for the kids' positive
outcome.

Sometimes it's the village idiot who wants to raise your kids, what?

The HS that my son graduated from had heavy parent involvement. At all of
the parent student meetings the principal an teachers preached that the
students that had parent involvement at the school were the ones that did
the best.
His graduation had 130 students of which half intended to go on to college.
His graduation class was awarded 1.5 million dollars in college scholastic
academic scholarships for those 65 students.
