Broward schools: Parents should be more involved
Broward County schools are trying to get parents more involved in their kids' academics.
They've launched this website, which is pretty cool. Among the material on there is a flow chart on how to deal with what you think is unfair treatment of your child by their teacher. There's also advice about how to deal with a child who hates school and thinks it's stupid. (Besides saying, 'Congratulations, you're human!'')
The district also has parent involvement meetings. Here's the schedule. The next one is March 23. Download file

i think public schools have become more of a daycare for parents these days. alot of teachers are struggling to teach academics due to the fact the kids are not getting the proper parenting at home. some parents dont even care if thier child is not interested in school they just take them there because its the law or happy to have some time to themselves.
