Helping Parents Make the School System Work for Them: Buffalo Public Schools' Parent Center.

Clinchy, Evans

Equity and Choice, v7 n2-3 p83-88 Spr 1991

Low-income parents and children unaccustomed to a school environment are made to feel welcome in the Buffalo Public Schools' Parent Center. Parents are guided-through classes, discussions, and take-home computers-to be their children's teachers and to learn the school system well enough to negotiate it to their children's advantage.
