How to Achieve Transparency in Schools | City Journal
At a minimum, parents should be able to know what s being taught to their children in the classroom. Transparency is a virtue for all of our public institutions, but especially for those with power over children. To that end, we have drafted a template building on one of our earlier efforts at the Manhattan Institute and the work of Matt Beienburg at the Goldwater Institute to inform state legislatures seeking to foster school transparency. The policy proposal is designed to provide public school parents with easy access directly on school websites to materials and activities used to train staff and teachers and to instruct children.
Transparency of school curriculums is such an obvious reform that the teachers unions will find it hard to resist. It will be instructive to watch them try however.
