CABLE'S PARENT TEACHER CONNECTION Reprinted courtesy of Cable in the Classroom magazine How cable companies, schools, and local PTAs are working together to benefit teachers, parents, and kids. By Jeff Carter ALTHOUGH THEY WORK in different professions, Latha Krishnaiyer and Cindy Stoddart discovered they have an important common concern: the impact of television violence and commercialism on children. So in early 1995, Krishnaiyer, of the Broward County and Florida State PTA, and Stoddart, director of public and government affairs of the Broward County System at Comcast Cable of Fort Lauderdale, got together to lead one of the very first Taking Charge of Your TV workshops for a group of concerned parents at the Florida PTA leadership conference. They’ve been giving them ever since. The partnership between Comcast and the Florida PTA "makes perfect sense," Stoddart says. "I think the cable industry brings a tremendous sense of responsibility and commitment to education to the table, along with the ability to use the resources that we have to communicate to the public at large. The PTA members take the information we give them back to their communities and they make things happen at a grassroots level." "For instance," Krishnaiyer continues, "a woman at one of the workshops said that she came home one day and went into the laundry room to wash clothes. Her two boys had taken marbles and strewn them all over the floor. She took a step and took a dive—luckily she wasn’t hurt! Then she brought the kids in and she wanted to know what happened. They said they were doing this to stop burglars from coming in, just like the kid did in the movie

Application forms (form DR-5) are available on-line, by fax or from any DOR service center.

Beyond Bake Sales by Charlene K. Haar, EPI President Hardly a week goes by without another article encouraging parental involvement in education accompanied by a poll showing the benefits of having parents active in their child's education. Busy parents have long been engaged in volunteer work within classrooms, extra-curricular activities, on school playgrounds, and at home. Today, however, parents who are contributing more time and money feel like they are resources to be tapped rather than major stakeholders in the system. Parents are turning to traditional parent-teacher groups for help. The question is: What kind of help can they expect? The century old National Congress of Parents and Teachers (PTA), has been a long-time proponent of parental involvement. The PTA has local affiliates in slightly over one-fifth of the K-12 schools in the United States. In Florida, about 26 percent of the schools have PTAs. However, all is not well with the PTA. At the PTA's national convention in Kansas City, Missouri, last June, most states reported no membership increases, while many states reported membership losses. Some states, like Indiana, have seen significant dropout rates. In 1994, the Indiana PTA lost 3,384 members and at least 9,000 members quit in 1996. In my opinion, there are several reasons for this decline.

But from where Elgin Allen and Rob Nuccio sit, that same carnival looks more like a little shop of horrors. The moon bounce? A chance for someone to get hurt, perhaps seriously. Ditto the three-legged race. The popcorn machine? A fire hazard. From the big endeavors like buying and installing playgrounds to even the seemingly innocuous ones like allowing students to buy inexpensive gifts at a holiday shop, Nuccio sees trouble. Someone could fall off one of those swings, choke on one of those gift items. He’s not being hysterical or alarmist. It has happened, he says. “Typically if people file a lawsuit, they’ll name anyone as defendants,’’ says Allen. Even if the parent group itself doesn’t have much money to go after, the officers may be named. “What are the attorneys going to do? They’re going to look for the deep pockets and go after personal assets,’’ he says.

Home Reform Briefs Newsletter Pubs List ... E-mail EPI Building a Competitive Education Industry A Weekly Column by Myron Lieberman [EPI welcomes reader feedback Logic, Facts, and Educational Controversy One of the most depressing aspects of educational controversy in the United States it the abysmal intellectual level of the arguments for and against school choice. On this point, I see very little difference between its supporters and its opponents, but let me begin with an example on the supporters' side. The example is the assertion, iterated and reiterated, that more money won't improve education. The proof is supposed to be in the fact that educational expenditures have increased steadily since the 1960s but meanwhile achievement levels have stagnated or declined. Actually, expenditures for K-12 education have increased much more than is revealed by government expenditures. First of all, the government statistics on the issue substantially understate government spending for public education, an issue to be discussed in future columns. Furthermore, private expenditures for public education have also increased in recent years. Public school districts receive more support from philanthropic foundations than ever before. PTAs and PTOs contribute more, as do private corporations. Thus from the financial side, public education has been receiving more support on an inflation adjusted basis than in the years preceding the Great Society and higher levels of inflation-adjusted government spending for public education. Nevertheless, this does not prove that the critics of public education assert, to-wit, that more spending for public education will not improve achievement levels.
