Parents involved in curriculum, policy discussions is the title of a Des Moines Register article about what is happening at two elementary schools in Madison, Illinois.
“We’re not just having the parents come along to support the fundraiser,” [the principal] said. “We want them part of everything we do every day…This includes academic programs and curriculum changes, and the creation of discipline and homework policies and procedures.”
Not a bad attitude to have…though it would be nice if the school wanted to try to be part of what was happening in the parents’ lives, too.
