Watch What You Ask For Just asking for more input doesn’t move the dial. Just creating more “parental involvement” doesn’t move the dial. Research does show, however, that when parents set higher expectations for their own children, establish the discipline for more work and effort, and follow through with their children and teachers in the work – this can make a real difference in student and school performance.

A Community Approach Civic involvement—from teachers and parents and from other stakeholders in a community—is essential to turning around schools. The question, of course, is how to structure meaningful involvement, and one answer comes from Philadelphia, where a sustained cross-sector collaborative—Project U-Turn—has made significant advances in heightening the public’s awareness of Philadelphia’s dropout crisis and improving options for struggling students and out-of-school youth.

Community engagement must be organic One way not to achieve effective parental and community engagement for school turnarounds is to mandate engagement into public policy. Community participation in school turnarounds needs to be organic. It must rise up from the grassroots to be successful.

Can you hear me now? You want to know a secret? Parents and community leaders have spent decades talking and pressuring and begging for changes to our country’s education system until they are blue in the face.

I don’t even know where to start on this – I’ve had the web page open for days just trying to figure out how to handle it: Unemployed Working Hard To Find Jobs, Despite Depiction as Spoiled Brats . It is a disgusting generalization that shows how out-of-touch lawmakers are with the current state of affairs that we’re dealing with.

When Jumping Out of the Frying Pan, Avoid Landing in the Fire
Greetings have traditionally been an acknowledgment of the other person. “I see you.” “Hello.” “Greetings.” Then, we moved on to, “how are you?” or even, “how’s business?” Recently, though, our performance-obsessed, live-forever society has morphed the greeting into something like, “please list everything going on in your life that isn’t as perfect as it should be.” In a business setting, this causes bad prioritization decisions

He was only 52 years old at the time, and had never been treated for any prior heart issues.

The Indian rupee will join the dollar, yen, euro and pound with its own symbol. The new currency icon is an amalgam of the character for ”Ra” in the ancient Devanagari script used in Hindi and the Roman capital ”R” without the stem. ”The symbol for the rupee would lend a distinctive character and identity to the currency and further highlight the strength and robustness of the Indian economy as also a favoured destination for global investments,” the government said in a statement
