The point is to build a parent community, right?  I'm sure it generally fails in practice (I've only read about it because.the school my kid will start on the fall does them), but the idea is to create a supportive environment to empower all parents to support their kids and help one another on a facilitated setting.  I get it.  But this post is enough to explain why it would be prone to failure.[/quote]

Actually that's not the point -- it is to raise achievement. The concept was developed in communities where there was low parent engagement and low student achievement. A big part is supposed to be to education and provide parents with ways to help their kid. It begins with the teacher home visits in the beginning of the year, and the APTT meetings are another piece.

It probably isn't 'needed' for parents who haunt this board, but you are not the target audience. Whether other parents who are less comfortable and adept engaging with their child's teachers find this informative and useful is a better measure. [/quote]
