I have a feeling you would feel differently if the school board insisted that the teacher assigning summer homework was req'd. to report to the classroom for 3 hours every Friday during the summer 'vacation' to provide instruction--at no increase in pay since this is obviously part of the classwork for which they are already being compensated. Right?

The father is doing his job as a parent. Teachers want 'involved' parents but they only seem to want them involved when they toe the company line.

Maybe that's supposed to be tow the company line?

A third of teachers are far to the Left of me (and you) but most teachers WANT more parental involvement, either from the academic excellence side or the 'discipline your little hooligan please' side or both....I think we are mostly on the same page here.

I am vehemently anti-NEA, mostly pro-NCLB and totally pro-parental involvement. I subbed for several years and taught one year full-time and am back in the private sector, which I greatly prefer.

It's the jackbooted NEA-bot hacks and their regional puppets and mouthpieces--most but not all administrators and almost always the Union Rep on campus--that in truth don't want parents on campus at all, despite their pontificating otherwise--so that parents remain unaware of all the fringe group guest assembly speakers and advocates of abortion and other issues that would become inconvenient for the school officials to have to defend....damn educrats use the same Orwellian doubletalk as the Koran...which they also don't mind teaching....hmmmmm, coincidence?
