Report Cards on Parenting

A work you are given evaluations which review your skills, work ethic and attitude in a day to day work environment. Now can you imagine receiving a report card which grades you on your parenting skills? This is a proposal from the Florida State representative, Kelli Stargel, which she hopes her peers will adopt. This report card would be called the Parent Involvement and Accountability in Public Schools bill, this would grade parents from grade pre-school to grade three to see if their parenting skills are "satisfactory, need improvement, or unsatisfactory".

I believe this is a new innovative idea which will shape us or break us. Although, my concern is that the teachers will not have a well enough understanding of the life at home. My suggestion is that this report card is given to the parents by the student and teacher so that way they will have a more accurate grade. I believe that is a good idea which will open the eyes of parents and better understand their child and their needs.
