A New Understanding of Parent Involvement: Family-Work-School

"Working families are good at juggling ... trying to fit everything into one day, maintaining a household, caring for the kids, and doing a good job at work. But sometimes the ball drops. That's when a family friendly employer, and a caring school, can make all the difference, so that children receive both the care and love that they need."
