Who Is Really Responsible for Student Failure? A Hard Look at Educational Accountability
When a student doesn’t graduate, where does the buck stop? > High school graduation is the ultimate benchmark of success, yet when a student fails to reach that milestone, the finger-pointing begins. In this episode of Ray Talks Live, we revisit a powerful case study to examine the complex relationship between parents, students, and the school system.
Drawing on two decades of experience in the social studies classroom, I break down the shared responsibility of each party and offer a transparent look at who must ultimately take ownership of student outcomes. Whether you're an educator, a parent, or a community leader, this deep dive explores the hard truths behind educational failure and what it takes to change the narrative in 2026.
