People who think parents are not involved in their child's education have probably never heard of Gwen Samuel. She is a force for parents and children looking for real education reform. She is starting a parent union with hopes to gain a seat at the table.
She certainly has my support.
There's a straphanger's union in NYC that apparently is effective --- effective meaning that it has some real power to check fee raises.
ReplyDeleteThat's the only example of a consumers' or taxpayers' union I've heard of.
Wait!
ReplyDeleteI forgot.
Didn't Steve Barr manage to organize a parents' union in L.A.?
I have no idea! Do you have any information on Steve Barr's LA parent union?
