It depends on the parent. if the parent is involved in their child's life, engaged with the school and has a first-hand grasp on reality, then they should be an advocate for their child's school. Ignorance is the biggest problem we face right now. We have a lot of pressure to spend gov't spending so education is always one of the first things to get cut, in non-metro areas, especially in the South, test scores are stagnating and teen pregnancy is on the rise. So step 1, be a parent. Step 2, be an active parent, Step 3, fight for your child's future.
Start at your local level. Not only should you get involved in the various parent committees at your school, think about running for the School Board.
Some of our local parents have run and helped shaped the policies at a local level that affect our children.
