This Organization isn't about making Parents responcible for their children's education.
IT'S ABOUT MORE ..."SCHOOL BUDGET OVER-RIDES"...."SCHOOL BONDS"..."STATE TAXES FOR SCHOOLS"..."CITY TAXES FOR SCHOOLS".
THROWING MORE MONEY AFTER BAD FOR FAILING SCHOOLS, FAILING ADMINISTRATORS AND FAILING TEACHERS WHO GIVE US.........."FAILING STUDENTS".

Creating critical thinkers? What happens when the kids realize their parents are 47% of the problem?

Good intentions, and best of luck. The best predictors of the success of any child's education still remains the parents' level of education and their socioeconomic status. While this is a good idea and probably will not hurt, it still smacks of having to teach people how to act as parents. Most parents who are serious about their children's education already know how to act and the questions to ask. Teach people the questions to ask, and will they still know what to do with the answers they get? When we have to teach intuition, there is a problem. Good intentions, still. Best of luck. I hope it works.
