TwitThisWhat We Can All Do
- As a parent: Set high expectations for your children; pay attention to the quality of the work they're doing and meet with teachers regularly -- especially if you have concerns. Read for your own enjoyment, and read to your kids, regardless of their age.
- As a taxpayer: Demand accountability for how school districts spend public money.
- As a voter: Support candidates who are committed to educational initiatives that prepare students for life after school.
- As a citizen: Keep learning. Enroll in an adult class or workshop. Recognize that -- whether or not you've got children in school -- improving education is critical to the long-term health of the country. Volunteer your time. It's in everybody's interest.
