Hi Parents, i've been blogging to you with hopes that you get more involved in the educational growth of your students in public schools. Parents play a big role in the success of their families, schools and communities. Parents are needed on every level and this is why i'm focused on getting more parents involved in ending the dismantling of public education. Parents in public schools are guided under title 1. Title 1 states that parents are suppose to have say in the schools budget, curriculum and staff but we all know that power hungry principals have done whatever they can to keep parents separated and out of the school house.
Education is all about learning how to navigate in our society as safe productive citizens. Public school was created to give low income families an opportunity to create a life for themselves. Corporate America felt that public education was needed so that they would have a better workforce. Now corporate is trying to turn public schools into slave producing robots. Corporate America is stealing the power of public school parents. Parents please get more involved and learn your rights and what your role can be at the public school house.
Recently the Waldron Mercy Academy (a catholic school, where tuition is $11,500 to $13,250) fired one of their best teachers because the teacher married the same sex. parents are upset with and protested the school decision so much that the school shut down their facebook page. Parents have demanded the reinstating of the teacher or they will pull their students out of the school. Alumni have also demanded the reinstating of the teacher and will pull their funding if the educator is not re-hired. Parents i use this example of how parents are the most powerful in the world of education. This is a private school that can legally set their rules even if those rules discriminate, yet the parents and alumni are changing the rules and tradition of the school with their demands.
Parents of public schools we must do the research about what is going on in public schools. We don't have to settle for what our U.S., State and Local governments want to dictate to us as learning facilities. President Obama hired businessmen to create education policy, not educators like we have in Pennsylvania Secretary of Education. Corporate America wants slaves and that is why President Clinton sent most of our jobs overseas for sweatshop labor.
Parents i know some of us come from stressful conditions. i know the stress and this is why i advocate for us to unite and support one another in our life's journey. We don't have to pay $11,500 to $13,500 for our youth to receive great education. We do need to be involved on every level in the public school house. The same energy that parents in private schools put into their school house can be replicated by parents in public school houses. Funding is part of the solution, Parent participation is the Key to the SUCCESS FOR OUR STUDENTS FREEDOM. THE MORE WE KNOW THE MORE WE GROW!! THE FAMILY THAT LEARNS TOGETHER, EARNS TOGETHER!!
Parents Black and White
We Have To Unite
Public Education is being attacked
Parents we are missing from this fight
We Cannot Go Back
Freedom Is Our Sight
Parents We Are Up to Bat
Education Should Be Our Human Right
Parents divided let's defeat that tactic
District and Charter School Standardize Test Scores Were Cut Over Night
Parents Teachers Partnership equal a strong PAC
With Local Control We Can Ignite
Parents lets learn the facts
Create our kites for
Education that gives life
Stop the rape on the most
vulnerable backs
Parents Let's Take a Bite
Out Of Corporates and Arne Duncan Hypes
Parents We Must Unite
Demographics and Desires
With All Our Might
Parents WE REALLY NEED To Unite

A study on parent involvement.
If only parents realized the power we have together to effect change in our schools. Powerful words/poem at the end!
