The inherency that is preventing parents to have a choice or a say when it comes to their child's education is mostly the school system. The school usually doesn't tell the parents that their child isn't doing good in school so the childrens grades are dropping while no one does anything about it or guide them to the right direction.

There were 613,379 dropouts from high school (grades 9 through 12) with an overall dropout rate of 4.1 percent across all 49 reporting states and the District of Columbia in 2007–08. Indiana and New Jersey were tied for the lowest dropout rate at 1.7 percent while Louisiana had the highest event dropout rate at nearly 7.5 percent. The median dropout rate across the 49 reporting states and the District of Columbia was 4.1 percent. Across the 47 states that were able to report high school dropouts by gender, the dropout rate was higher for males than for females at 4.6 percent and 3.5 percent, respectively.7 The dropout rate was higher among males in every state. The male-female gap ranged from 0.3 percent in Nevada to 2.7 percent in Louisiana. Parents need to guide their child and have a say when it comes to their childs education but the school should also let the parents know even if they are permissive or authoritative if they are not doing well in school.
