Strengthening Our School
Strong schools depend on strong communities.
The single most important thing you can do is
get involved in the life of your child's
school. That's how you will begin to see what
the opportunities are as well as the
challenges. Parents and teachers are taking
increasingly adversarial roles in many schools.
Teachers are worked to the limit and parents
are busy with work and home life. As a society
we need to rebuild the bond between parents and
teachers to reinvigorate schools as community
centers of learning. For more information on
