on
Parental Involvement “In
the
end,
there
is
no
program
or
policy
that
can
substitute
for
a
parent
--
responsibility
for
our
children's
education
must
begin
at
home.
That
is
not
a
Democratic
issue
or
a
Republican
issue.
That's
an
American
issue." New Rule: Don't Blame
TeachersWhen
there
are
no
books
in

and
there
are
no
parents
in
the
house,
you
know
who
raises
the
kids?
That's
right,
the
television.
Kids
aren't
keeping
up
with
their
studies;
they're
keeping
up
with
the
Kardashians.
We're
allowing
the
television,
as
babysitter,
to
turn
us
into
a
nation

idiots. College Bound A series of
