Continuing to compile 101 Reasons to Abolish School Boards
7. Parents Rights and Their Children’s Education is a taboo topic in school boards.
Why? When someone, naively and earnestly says that parent rights, written in a pamphlet or school handbook would help empower parents, that person is praised, then diverted to another topic or “convinced” in no uncertain terms that there are “many stakeholders, partners, decision-makers, channels of authority…..ad infinitum, to follow”.
Since 1975 I’ve been involved with a project, Education Advisory, to help empower parents as both consumers and producers in the education system. The pamphlet, with the above title has been produced and reproduced in many parts of the English world, in print and online and is available here.
