Parents asked educators about their children’s learning. Frustrated when they were ignored, they asked politicians to put pressure on the educators. They were then surprised when the politicians provided personal advice about the optimal way to nurture learning. They were even more surprised when the politicans prescribed changes to instruction, curriculum, textbooks, technology, school safety, teacher retention, student behavior, school funding, and even the menus for school cafeterias. More frustrated than ever, they intensified their barrage of common sense questions.

Parents wondered exactly what was transpiring in classrooms. Although they asked their children, they did not have complete confidence in their responses. When they quizzed teachers, school administrators, school board members, and politicians, they realized that they sometimes had conflicting interests. They resolved to get the information they wanted on their own: they would examine classroom textbooks. This book recounts the common sense questions that parents posed about these materials.

Parents worried that their children would be marginalized by their peers at school. They gave examples in which they were singled out because of their gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, language, religion, or disabilities. They identified others who were picked out because of their family’s income, immigration status, association with the armed services, or attitudes towards medical issues. The parents were assured that changes were in the works to protect marginalized students. They reviewed changes to curricula, instruction, textbooks, disciplinary strategies, counseling techniques, tests, school-sponsored events, school terminology, athletic competitions, restroom policies, dress codes, disability policies, and extracurricular activities. Many parents had confidence in these changes. However, some were skeptical. The two groups argued with each other at local schoolboard meetings. They escalated their arguments after attracting the attention of journalists, scholars, and elected officials.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, parents were able to observe their children in online classes. They were surprised by classroom discussions and assignments related to gender, race, ethnicity, and religion along with the policies that were guiding curricula, tests, technology, athletics, discipline, safety, transportation, funding, and numerous other aspects of schools. Parents began giving their advice to their school boards, but when they were ignored, they disrupted meetings, wrote editorials, created blogs, staged rallies, and lobbied state officials. They were hoping to attract media attention and acquire political power and were stunned by their success. TheParent-School Board Feuds: Essential Steps by Parents to Improve Schools recounts parent-school board feuding about controversial classroom topics such as gender and race, their disagreements about school policies, including those affecting tests, technology, athletics, and discipline, and the impact that parents had during the pandemic and continue to have today.
