Editor's Note:
Â
There was a time when parents were confident that their local schools were looking out for the best interests of their children. Parents and school officials were on the same team in their desire for the best possible education for their students. What used to be a positive partnership, however, is quickly changing. Sure, Joy Pullmann is describing school policies in Madison, Wisconsin, but more conservative communities are not immune. "Don't tell the parents" is the new motto for educational systems that want to focus on everything but education, to the detriment of students and their families. Parents must investigate their own districts' policies. Reprinted with permission. Pat Daugherty, Ed.D.
