PROTECTING OUR CHILDREN'S FUTURE IN THE VIRIGINA SCHOOL SYSTEM
Get Educated
You can not fight what you do not understand and “understanding” in this day and age means flipping the coin over, even if just for a quick study, to gain perspective into what it looks like to see the world through the “lens” the other side views EVERYTHING through.
When you have the information to talk more comfortably about what you know in your heart is wrong or simply doesn’t make sense it is amazing the strength you will find in yourself to be honest and more open with what you see going on in the world around you.
Know Your Rights
The federal government and the Department of Education seems to forget more and more every day that parents are recognized as having the primary responsibility for the upbringing of their children, including education. “It is States and communities, as well as public and private organizations of all kinds, that establish schools and colleges, develop curricula, and determine requirements for enrollment and graduation. The structure of education finance in America reflects this predominant State and local role.”
Parental Action Toolkit
There are more ways to educate yourself on what is going on in public education than there have ever has been before- the #1 problem is transparency and the expectation that parents and the communities paying for this “fed.ed” know, first what to look for and second where to start. Fed.ed now includes the majority of private schools and higher education after the ARP funds were handed out last year.
Virginians For Children First is a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting the rights of our children in the Public School System.
