We would all be better for this. The district has a well-coordinated parental involvement program. The school districts are not as much involved in the community. Really, I think the churches and the Boys and Girls clubs of America are doing the best jobs. If more people in the community were more active with their children's teachers and school activities, we'd have fewer problems with children falling behind.
Teachers can only do so much.
The older kids get, the less parents are involved. I'd like to see more parents interested in curriculum planning. Perhaps a question and answer forum. Parents are usually afraid to speak up for fear of being shot down. It happened to me.
