Getting all kids in school an enormous challenge: Macklin"

The headline of the article on the ABC reported by "Online parliamentary correspondent" Emma Rodgers (ABC) appears to suggest that Jenny Macklin agrees with Prof Dodson that indigenous children need to get to school. Of course there are issues that need resolution before these children can get to, much less gain benefit from the lessons at school. Alas, with reporters like Ms Rodgers, telling the story, reporters who do not seem to proof-read their work before it hits the airwaves, there may be an indication that schooling can only do so much, after that it is simply personal care that is required, to ensure that oopsies like the following do not appear on our web pages. - see below
"Some parents aren't doing the right thing buy their kids, aren't getting them to school or aren't getting them there on a regular basis."
It's only one word but . . . .
