Fixing the Public Schools k-12

[Mike M (the other one)]

Been wracking my brain this past weekend to figure out a way to either get parents more involved or remove them completely from the equation.

Don't know how receptive this would be, but I came up with an idea to possibly get them more motivated.

Do it like we do Jury Duty.

Each Parent will be required to spend at least 1 day in their child's home room class as a Teacher's Aide (they stay with that teacher even if their kids go to another room).

I wanted to go with 2 days minimum, but I realize this might run into problems with parents that have multiple children and since I said each parent, it's also possible that we run into the problems of 1 parent deceased, deployed or flat out physically unable to attend (lives far away). In these cases, the first parent might have to go both times. In the event of Deployed, they would get preferential treatment for the dates that they might be available to attend.

It's a start, of course there will be some parents that just flat out refuse to come, not too sure yet about what the punishment should be.

Ok expand on it?
