CAR, I find it a little funny that you think parents involvement are essential for improvement, yet you think most parents don’t know anything about educating their kids, so their input is not meaningful. AFAIK, the parents who are the most critical of the teachers are the parents who are most involved. The parents that don’t care tend to have no critical assessment of the teacher.

So, are you essentially saying that have parents be fully involve, but only to be a drone and listen to the teacher? Especially since you think bad teachers are few and far in between while bad parents are more abundant than not. Do I understand that correctly>
