Dad threatens to blow up school over son's academic performance

He unsuccessfully tried to enter through a front and side door. Frustrated, Frank then ripped a two-way communication system off the building and left. That showed them! (WPXI.com)

I thought they wanted parents to be involved in their childrens' educations.

Father like son?

[Sigh]

I know the article said that the dad was unhappy with his performance, but it sounds more like he was unhappy with his evaluation / rating. If he were unhappy with his performance, wouldn't much of the blame rest in his son?

Father and son...both of 'em, not smarter than a picnic table.

I'm about to rant again about how schools should stick to preparing kids to make their way in the real world by teaching reading, writing and arithmetic. If they can't learn just that much then there are plenty of farm jobs available, once we send all the wetbacks back home.

Or maybe not ...

Poor kid. Whether or not it was the kid's fault he wasn't doing well in school, now he definitely won't be able to have good grades from all the distraction!
Paging Farmer Bob for the father...

Dad's fury concerning academics is unusual. Such parental temper fits are typically reserved for anger at coaches for not giving Sonny more playing time during games.

dad's behavior couldn't be an indication of why little johnny doesn't do well in school, could it?

Mouser: I don't think that is the kind of involvement the school had in mind.

Lambiepie: Back in the day when I taught public school, that was the saying. If little Johnny or Susie were effed up, all you had to do was take one look at the parental failures (aka breeders, because I refuse to call bad breeders "parents." Those failures give a bad name to the few decent parents out there).
