Increased parental participation at schools is cited as a common need nearly universally. How would you propose to get parents more involved in their childrens education?
The school system must work hand in hand with parents and families. This is certainly an area where my experience with families and young people is far superior to most of my competition. I’ve dedicated my life to serving families. I’ve been on the staff of two local churches. I’ve been a staff counselor for young people for three different summer teen camps. I have heart to help and support the family. Most of the social, behavioral, academic, and other problems that we struggle with in our schools are directly rooted in problems at home. I am a firm believer that we cannot fault the schools for problems at home. We can do much more to provide training, help, and resources for parents and families. If our families fail, the schools will not be far behind.
