A review Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community In the past year, several social scientists have argued that people who use the Internet, especially a cursed breed known as "heavy users," are glued to their screens and hence are missing out on social life. These lost souls are said to have less time than "normal" folks for their families, friends and communities. In contrast, other social scientists have noted that people keep in touch with their families and friends through e-mail, join thousands of clubs on Yahoo and e-Circles, and are notified about community events on screen.

Overview Current Issue Archived Issues Search Articles ... Contact the Staff January 1998 Making Parent Involvement Meaningful by Karen Rasmussen When Lynn Townsend's daughter was a sophomore at South Laurel High School in London, Ky., she couldn't get into the Latin class she needed to continue her studies from the previous year. Townsend went to the school's open house to learn how to remedy the situation. By the time she left, Townsend had joined the school's committee on restructuring time, which was charged with finding a way to improve teaching and learning at the school. Beyond Fundraising and Baking Cookies "Parents are equal to teachers and the principal" in the decision-making process, explains Charles Edwards, director of the Division of School-Based Decision Making at the Kentucky Department of Education. Because parents have a stake in what their children learn, they need to have a voice in deciding what is taught and how it is taught, he explains. Townsend thinks that all parents should have the same kind of opportunity as she to contribute to their children's education. "This type of involvement makes you understand what ownership really means," she says. South Laurel High School's principal, Roger Marcum agrees, noting that he has observed throughout his career in education that good principals have always been those who value the input of all stakeholders, including parents. In the past, schools relied on parents primarily to raise money for the school and to bake cookies and cupcakes for school parties, he says. Although these activities have value, Marcum works to convince parents that "their input is a valuable resource."
