The separation of parent and school is based on a mechanical model of teaching and learning, wrong and outmoded, but still very much alive.
Comer’s work has recreated the essential elements of community in school. A central aspect is the parent and staff partnership – caring, meaningful adults – interacting on behalf of and with students to promote their development, desirable behaviour, and learning.

We cannot afford to sequester parents on the periphery of the educational enterprise. Parent involvement is neither a quick fix nor a luxury; it is absolutely fundamental to a healthy system of public education.
