If they truly desire to have educated children then they need to educate the parents as well. Community involvement in the school provides community pride in the school. If you are happy about where you are marks go up as effort does.

For in class I hate to say it but the teacher union and the management teams must agree students come first. Not wages or breaks or squabbling about a teacher using supplies.

I hope Obama can make some real changes for the better as they are well needed.

She's long been known as an advocate of No Child Left Behind, charter schools, standardized testing, and using the free market to improve schools.

Ravitch says, "The evidence says No Child Left Behind was a failure, and charter schools aren't going to be any better." Ref. Source 6
