- Let's be blunt: Bruce Baker, Valerie Strauss and Diane Ravitch really don't want parents at the education decision-making table. #edreform #
- If not so, why the opposition to #ParentTrigger #ParentPower? Family engagement can't really exist if parents can't make decisions #edreform #
- And this includes allowing parents to remove principals, teaching staffs and districts that are failing our kids. Period #edreform #
- @AngieBarfield This is true. But, remember, the kids who are attending dropout factories have parents who attended the same failure centers in reply to AngieBarfield #
- @AngieBarfield You have to inform and empower those parents, provide data and tools for their use. And you have to open up decision-making in reply to AngieBarfield #
- @AngieBarfield That is the capacity-building element of #edreform — and the part that is most-neglected. in reply to AngieBarfield #
- @AngieBarfield Expecting parents to just "know" when they actually don't is akin to the blind leading the blind. Information is power. in reply to AngieBarfield #
- @AngieBarfield And the families need the information. in reply to AngieBarfield #
- @AngieBarfield I would argue that there are many families ready to do the work. But, as with anything, you're dealing w/families who are in reply to AngieBarfield #
- @AngieBarfield also in crisis. More importantly, we have spent the past 150 years telling families all they have to do is send a kid to a in reply to AngieBarfield #
- @AngieBarfield a school and they will be okay. Even many middle class families don't fully understand what is at stake. in reply to AngieBarfield #
- @AngieBarfield And let's not forget, in many schools, poor parents and minority parents are treated as afterthoughts and niusances. in reply to AngieBarfield #
- @AngieBarfield If you have poor experiences w/schools and terrible experiences w/teachers and principals who look down at you as nothing in reply to AngieBarfield #
- @AngieBarfield there is going to be an unwillingness to engage. The Virginia Walden Fords and Gwen Samuels are few and far between in reply to AngieBarfield #
- @AngieBarfield And perhaps you should reach them through Facebook. As I once told a group, you go where people are. in reply to AngieBarfield #
- @AngieBarfield And, also, provide food and drink. Even politicians find themselves providing food and drink — to their fellow politicians in reply to AngieBarfield #
- @AngieBarfield just to show up. Again, you are dealing with a disconnected population and disconnected communities in reply to AngieBarfield #
- @AngieBarfield In some sense, this is true. But this is also in many ways false. Again, I've dealt with the same families. Some are in reply to AngieBarfield #
- @AngieBarfield in my own family. It's easy to say it's all about the parent. But as the research has shown, the schools are often as in reply to AngieBarfield #
- @AngieBarfield anti-parent as the parents are anti-school. in reply to AngieBarfield #
- @AngieBarfield And I admire your work. But that work is going to be hard. And that's why it's so important. in reply to AngieBarfield #

- Tonight, on the Dropout Nation Podcast, I explain the importance and value of education — and why we need #edreform more than ever #
- Think about the lifetime earnings of high school grads and the college educated. Think about the value to communities and our economy. #
- And think about the value of education is just being able to understand the world. #
- We cannot continue with a status quo that doesn't work for our kids or for ourselves. Listen, consider and take action. #
