The Parent-School Board Feuds (eBook, ePUB)

Essential Steps by Parents to Improve Schools

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

During the COVID-19 pandemic, parents were able to observe their children in online classes. They were surprised by classroom discussions and assignments related to gender, race, ethnicity, and religion along with the policies that were guiding curricula, tests, technology, athletics, discipline, safety, transportation, funding, and numerous other aspects of schools. Parents began giving their advice to their school boards, but when they were ignored, they disrupted meetings, wrote editorials, created blogs, staged rallies, and lobbied state officials. They were hoping to attract media attention and acquire political power and were stunned by their success. TheParent-School Board Feuds: Essential Steps by Parents to Improve Schools recounts parent-school board feuding about controversial classroom topics such as gender and race, their disagreements about school policies, including those affecting tests, technology, athletics, and discipline, and the impact that parents had during the pandemic and continue to have today.
