[quote=Anonymous]I stopped reading a few pages in... We live in Alexandria City and our schools face similar issues. I will break it to you now - nothing that was mentioned here that parents do or intend to do, fix the schools. Parental involvement matters most for your own child and being involved directly with your own child's education. Having enrichment activities, having PTA events, etc - those are nice, they help parents get to know each other, they are good marketing for hooking other upper middle class parents -but they make no impact on the actual education. You can not have them and the education doesn't get better or worse. Good principals matter for sure. It makes the experience of dealing with them better for you as a parent. They are constrained also by curriculum as dictated and hiring teachers - sometimes having to take the best of the worst because that's who applies. What works? Reducing the FARMS rate per school [/quote]
