I want schools to be schools, not daycare centers. Schools should graduate those who learn the coursework, and not graduate those who don't. What the parents do or do not do should not impact schools' policies in this matter. Someone with good parents who doesn't learn should be held back, and someone with bad parents who does learn should be graduated.

Schools should not graduate a student who does not learn the coursework. This has absolutely nothing to do with parents, this is something that can be administered with complete objectivity regardless of parental involvement or lack thereof. This is entirely within the power of the school system to do, and indeed it is their responsibility if they have any claim to legitimacy in their mission.
