My main point is that parents are much more effective at getting kids to work harder than teachers are and whether the number is 70% or 80% I think the point is made.

I have been both a teacher and am a parent as well. That statement simply is not true. It might work to a certain point with young children, but once kids are a certain age, motivation is by and large from within.
Anyone who has parented teenagers or coached teenagers knows of what I speak.
