The schools constantly whine about parental involvement. They are affronted when it materializes. They don't *want* involved parents... they want guilty parents. I am sure that offended a lot of people out there, but I get the impression that not a lot of your have personal experience with the issue, and that's mine. This was true of both good and bad schools in several states. Bottom line, schools are fiefdoms that have managed to convince the general public that giving them money will be good for children.
