Parents, you need to wake up and get in the game. Your child’s future is at stake. Or, your child will become one of the negative statistics. In some cases it is appropriate to blame the education leadership -- especially the commissioner, superintendents, principals, and collective bargaining units -- for the ineffective system. However, the love of learning must start at home with parents. It is the parent's responsibility to make education their priority over all other activities. It is the parent's responsibility to set high expectations for their child’s behavior and learning and it is the parent’s responsibility to be a positive role model for the child in helping to shape the child’s opinions and attitudes about learning.
