Disturbed

The school my children attend used-to-be fairly "parent-friendly", this year that has all changed. What I find so disturbing about this new trend of excluding parents is that every study shows that schools with high parental involvement achieve much higher. So, why in the world would you discourage parents from getting involved? This is especially upsetting in a county that could not meet state-standards according to standardized tests. It seems a bit moronic to take a school that met standards, that had a large amount of parent involvement and put an end to it. I don't get it. I have to say, it does make me wonder what is going on that they don't want anybody to see?
