2. ADOPT Parents’ Bill of Rights

The importance of a good working relationship between the parents and the public school cannot be overestimated. That is what acting in loco parentis (in the place of the parent) is all about. Most public school parents do not intend to micromanage the work of teachers and principals, they simply wish to know what their children are being taught outside the home. A Parents’ Bill of Rights would enact curriculum transparency requirements for all subjects. (South Carolina already has a transparency requirement for health education.)
