National School Choice Week

The National School Choice Week 2012 ended on Saturday. The governors and state legislatures of 28 states and territories recognized the week, which featured more than 400 events across the United States. A senior advisor to National School Choice Week, Lisa Keegan said there are 5 things that parents can do to immediately improve their children’s chances of success in their current schools. 1. Research your child’s school online at www.greatschools.net. 2. Commit to visiting your child’s school and request interaction with your child’s teachers. 3. If you are unhappy with your child’s school, you may contact the district to see if the child may attend another school. 4. Look in to virtual and digital educational options that can augment your child’s classroom learning, at home. 5. If you think new programs should be passed write letters to the editors, contact state leaders by email, fax, mail and telephone. For additional information please go to www.SchoolChoiceWeek.com.
