There are a lot of parents who care about their child's school who just don't know why changes are happening. They may be inclined to blame teachers or the principal. They are involved in their child's education, but not necessarily politics and they do not know about the "reform" movement and who is behind it and how it directly affects their child's school.

Nothing works. Can we please have a computer lab instead of those stupid carts. They are so difficult - you have to go get them, then hand out computers, then put them all away again. This is very difficult in between classes. Also,often they are not hooked up to a printer. Another issue is mayoral control. There needs to be some oversight - parents were supposed to be able to hold the mayor accountable but there is no mechanism for that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2586988941850907367.post-4195625217714876322011-07-08T18:57:38.739-04:002011-07-08T18:57:38.739-04:00Leonie you are such a wonderful advocate for our c...Leonie you are such a wonderful advocate for our children. I'm a teacher mom who follows your blog regularly. Use your Klout to expose the real conditions in our schools, and compare and contrast with charters! We need to show the broken bathrooms, gym classes in the auditorium and makeshift lunchrooms. Are there legal grounds to photograph school interiors? If yes, then send out the request and your many teacher/parent fans will take the pictures!
