Parents and other citizens across the country frequently criticize schools for not doing their job. Most notably, they blame schools for low student achievement scores. Surprisingly, the most frequent and vociferous complaints come from those who live in districts where the achievement scores are high.
All of the following, considered individually, help to explain the apparent paradox EXCEPT:
A) Parents from districts of high achievers are very involved with the schools and are therefore more likely to make critical comments.
B) Parents and other citizens have no knowledge of their district's own scores.
C) High scores cause parents' expectations to rise, leading parents to demand that students achieve even more.
D) High-scoring districts contain low-achieving students whose parents are very likely to complain when they observe that their children's scores do not match those of children who live nearby.
E) Most complaints about schools come from political activists, most of whom live in high-achieving districts.
Somebody explain
