As a parent of a child attending a public school, I am EXCITED about this upcoming Ebony Education Roundtable to discuss the REAL issues!
In this age of cutbacks, we have to find creative solutions to ensure our children still WIN on the academic front. Have you ever asked your child's principal what you can do to help your school? Our schools can benefit tremendously from not only our ideas, but access to our networks and resources as well.
When teaching assistants were eliminated from the kindergarten classrooms, my mother, a retired educator, volunteered her time. A dad concerned by the lack of physical education at my son's school organized a brand new program for the children in partnership with the tennis club where he serves as director.
Your schedule may prevent you from serving as a class parent, but perhaps you can get your company to donate computers or even write a grant to subsidize the music/arts program (that's my goal for this year) to help make a difference in your child's school.
