If someone has true potential it tends to come out either way. It doesn't need to be dragged out of them.
If a child has parents who don't give a damn what becomes of them, they are more than likely not going to try their best in school as they have seen that there is no reward for doing so. I don't think it is entirely the schools fault - they are there to teach, not to bring children up. I mean there are primary schools who IMO are wasting valuable time teaching kids table manners, because their parents never taught them how to use a knife and fork. How sad is that?
