Today in America our school systems are in such a great need.
Our own public views of our education system.
could impact such a change that it might help create the.
right reform efforts intended to aid the children of the.
United States. Our children are the future of our society.
and it is our responsibility to make sure that these.
children are given every right to achieve the best education.
possible.
One major topic of concern today is education reform of.
our private school systems not only in New Jersey but.
throughout the United States. These private school systems,.
today, are ran and organized so that low income families.
cannot afford to send their children to a school of higher.
learning because of financial reasons. Some students are.
even denied transferring because there is not enough.
classroom space. To further aid the lower income families.
to be able to place their children into a private school.
there are some reform efforts that come to mind. One and.
the most important would be to have a larger commitment for.
parental involvement. If we could just get more parents.
committed to helping their children learn and take an active.
part in their education they would be helping the school.
systems improve.
"As stated in the St. Louis Post Dispatch Editorial.
Kevin Walker, the founder and president of Project.
Appleseed, has some great ideas for getting parents involved.
in their children's education. Claiming success around the.
country through his parental involvement pledge, he's now.
trying to help the St. Louis schools get more parents.
committed to helping their children learn and helping the.
schools improve"(Franck,3). It is shown and proven by.
experts that getting parents involved in today's school.
systems is the key to student success. Mr. Walkers program.
focuses on getting parents to sign pledges obligating them.
to work each night with their own children and to also.
contribute five hours each semester to the school.
