This Introduction Is Their Story
Parent protests are erupting at many schools everywhere. The voices of mothers and fathers ring out in unison with other parents demanding their brand of justice.
These impassioned parents are not speaking out against the educational inequalities and inequities that have remained pervasive in many schools throughout the United States.
The emotional screams of these enraged parents are not confronting the problem of underfunding that so many schools have to constantly deal with.
Infuriated mothers and fathers with eyes filled with fury are not advocating for the achievement gap that has existed for decades among diverse student populations to be…

Family engagement is a critical issue in education today. It refers to the mutual dedication, cooperation, and support that educators, parents, and other caregivers share as students are being educated.

Being an educator is really tough these days. It was challenging before the pandemic and has become even more complicating as schools navigate their way through all the coronavirus variants to educate their learners.
