mics should be in all classrooms and parents should be allowed

I agree, but since they tell taxpayers who do not have children getting a free education that they pay because it is "for the benefit of all to have an educated society", all taxpayers whould be able to listen in.
Just like open courtrooms and open meetings laws. When the government forces people to pay and attend (imagine!) then there should be open public oversight.
