American parents used to be able to assume that their kids were getting a good education if the family lived in a good neighborhood with good schools and the child went on to attend a selective university. That assumption is no longer valid. As a result, you need to be more involved in your child’s education to ensure that your child gets an education that measures up, not to American norms, which are now mediocre among developed nations, but to international norms. In kindergarten, in high school, and beyond.
