Where Are The Parents In This Interview Article?

After reading this Washington Post article regarding Education Secretary Betsy Devos stumbling over a recent interview by journalist, Leslie Stahl, in which Ms. DeVos had trouble answering questions that seemed to contradict herself (see video), this writer totally agrees with Ms. Stahal, that perhaps Ms. Devos should visit the schools that are underperforming.

Note the exchange between Ms. Stahl and Ms. Devos:

"STAHL: Have you seen the really bad schools? Maybe try to figure out what they’re doing? DEVOS: I have not, I have not, I have not intentionally visited schools that are underperforming. STAHL: Maybe you should. DEVOS: Maybe I should. Yes."

Note that in the above interview article, not one time is the word "parents" used. My question is, Where are the parents in this interview article? Could we ever believe that parents might play an integral part in the decline of our present educational system? (educrats seemingly always want to cast the blame on the poor old school teacher for the deficiency in education).

Could part of the problem regarding deficiency in education, be a deficiency in parental involvement with their children? (see here and here). And how about academic laziness?

Do we not know and understand that education begins in the home? (that's where loving and concerned parents should be found -- see here).

This writer was glad that President Trump chose MS. Devos as Education Secretary (see here), but if you never visit underperforming schools, how in the world are you ever going to acquire solutions to the problem of why they are underperforming?
