The pertinent point is the safety of the children, not the name of the school.
Excuse me, meggiemom, but you've got to be kidding! Parents should always be involved where their children are concerned, whether at school, in the community, in sports or, as you maintain, at home. My parents were more concerned with what I did away from home than at home. My butt was sore more than once when my dad found out I had done something wrong in public or at school. My children learned the same lessons. Parenting is an individual endeavor but, in my estimation, it was done much more successfully in past days than at present. I realize this is only my opinion but a look at much of what transpires with today's youth bears it out. And yes, there are great kids out there and they are a boon to society. Just my thoughts.
That sounds a little contradictory. That is just my opinion.Excuse me, meggiemom, but you've got to be kidding!

The point is that safety issues are the responsibility of the schools and the school district. They are NOT situations that need to be corrected by "parent's getting involved". Parenting is an at home responsibility.
