Parent Trigger comes to the U.K.?
02.26.10
What started in California and spread like wildfire to Connecticut has now apparently jumped the pond as well:
“Teachers' leaders attacked plans set out by Gordon Brown today giving parents the power to demand regime change in struggling schools.
Parents will be given the power… to trigger a ballot of all parents in the school if they are unhappy with the standard of education their children are receiving.”
Even more about the proposal here. We knew that giving parents unprecedented power through the Parent Trigger would have national implications, but who would have thought the idea would go international! Seems like parents all around the world are coming together and demanding real power to fix their children’s schools.
