Parents Across America is a network of active parents doing the hard work of change in our public schools. We know that our schools need help. Knowing what to do is the problem. Knowing what works in improving schools is even more important.Go to the site at PAA’s Parent Online Toolkit for the WBD* movie and beyond for complete information...some highlights...
We know that most parents don’t want to close their schools or turn them into charters. They want to improve their local neighborhood public schools by stopping budget cuts, reducing class size, de-emphasizing high stakes testing, offering a well-rounded education and strengthening parent participation.
PAA has put together a Parent Toolkit to give you some background information on the fictional “Won’t Back Down”* movie and some suggestions on how to get organized and help your children and their schools succeed.
1- Learn the facts about the “Won’t Back Down” movieWe don't have the money and visibility that the billionaires who financed and produced Won't Back Down have. We need to do everything we can to counteract the widespread misinformation this movie will produce. Parents Across America is a great source...
2- Demand a stronger voice in school decision making
