Absolutely! What seems to me the hardest thing about classroom teaching is finding out what each kid knows, how they think, what they are interested in and the best way to approach them. Then, somehow putting that into a "whole" that can reach each student.
Parents know these things about their own kids.
The nea gives lip service to parental involvement but it seems this is pushing parental NONinvolvement.
even if you do not homeschool, this article is VERY disturbing.
