[quote=Anonymous]I can speak from experience, as a parent who has been involved with PAVE for years. I am sure I don't know all of the education groups out there, but what drew me to the group is that is inclusive of both charter and public parents, and includes parents from all parts of the city. As has been said in this thread, the room is filled with parents who want the best for their kids. I am a DCPS parent, others are charter parents, some have kids in both, some have kids with special education placements in private schools. Personally, I like how it brings more people to the table - the more parents involved in advocacy and speaking up for our cities' kiddos the more likely it is that policy makers hear what all parents feel/prioritize, instead of a smaller sub group. The comments, concerns, and questions in the room at a PAVE meeting are those of parents who live in DC, not those of outside funders. The funding that the group has does provide a range of things, including childcare and food for meetings, which allows all parents the opportunity to engage.  They share a lot on twitter (https://twitter.com/dcpave) and have events and ways to engage if you are interested in learning more. [/quote]
