Friday’s open line


Don’t forget that the tax-free weekend begins today! If you’re buying junior (or yourself) that new computer, now is the time.

In the conversation thread under the story An interview with HPD Chief Glen Allen, Deryl von Williams, in writing about her debuting private school, mentioned that parents would have to volunteer one day for every ten that his or her child attends. Those who have written in other threads about the Vance Charter School have mentioned compulsory parent involvement as part of their success formula.

Can and should parent involvement in our public schools be part of our plan for success? If we were to try it, could we enforce it? Let us know your thinking on today’s open line.
