Parents logging time with kids
A program in Denver is aimed at involving parents more in their child's education.
The Mile High Parent Campaign would ask parents track the amount of time they spend helping their children, and exactly what they do
The goal is at 30 minutes a day. Lots of folks have research that shows that students perform better in school when parents help them.
What types of things do you do with your children, and how do you think the school systems here could help enhance parent involvement in and outside of school?
Why does the Roanoke Times with its supposed care about students and parents not do any reporting about how the public schools are failing the students and parents. The children are not getting an education near what students did 40 years ago. The students I talk to do not even have a basic knowledge of science, history, or language. Notwithstanding these facts the Times goes its merry way falsely reporting that all is well.
