Boston schools to help parents take a wider role in education - The Boston Globe:
"Boston school officials, increasingly concerned about a lack of parental involvement, will launch a program this fall to give mothers and fathers an opportunity to learn how to help their children with homework, talk with teachers, or take on a volunteer leadership role.
Parent University will also help parents write résumés and develop career goals and will hold a graduation for participants at year’s end.
The program opens as state and national policy makers stress the need for urban parents to take an active role in their children’s education."
