This week, Dr. Ben talks about parental involvement and explains that, in his school, parents arent always the best choice. Instead, he advocates for family Involvement, which has more to do with the tribal society roots of his students than the trumped up notions of culture that bureaucrats had at the schools beginnings. Family involvement, he explains, could include parents but is not restricted to just parents, taking pressure off working parents who dont have the time or energy to volunteer and providing each student with a whole network of supporters to help them succeed in school.
If the parents are busy, what makes you think the extended family isn't busy as well? These clips should be much longer; I could hear his stories for a while.
