Sacramento Press / U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan hosts town hall forum:
"Duncan also addressed a question on how to engage parents to be a part of the learning process. 'Parents are always going to be kids' first teachers, and they're always going to be their most important teachers,' he said. 'When parent's aren't engaged or they're fighting the teachers, they're part of the problem.'
'We need to do as much as we can to challenge parents to meet us more than halfway,' he added."
