If families are saying that the public school system does not work for them, system leaders should seize the opportunity to ask why, study the answers, and use what they learn to become more accommodating, more receptive, and more accessible to families. educationnext.org/parental-c…

Public schools are not powerless in a choice-rich environment. They can create new programs, communicate more clearly, and build stronger relationships with families. But those efforts are only as good as the information behind them. #NCpol #edNC educationnext.org/parental-c…
