"In a high-performing school, you're going to find highly committed parents. It's a critical piece of the puzzle," he said. "We can't leave responsibility only on the doorstep of the school."

Now, it is to the credit of HC that many of these innovations listed in the article are ones we've gotten used to.

I would argue that these involved parents are needed even MORE in charter and private schools because the resources are not as available...so why shut the door on these people?
