"Solicitors tell parents straight:
'The governors always back the headteacher.'
Instead, it's reputation over safeguarding.
When deference wins, children lose.
Time for real accountability in our schools. 💔🏫

I love a project and it was a pleasure to write this for Safe Air Schools UK. I’m astounded by the support it’s received, grateful for the awareness it’s raised and thankful to those who contributed along the way 👏 Support is continuing to come in, with grateful thanks #parentpower Anyone can sign

The meetings were held as part of National School Choice Week in line with our mission to make sure parents have a voice AND a choice in education in our city (that should be a state!). We're so excited to continue this legacy of #ParentPower at our 11th annual DCPVCW this month! #DCPVCW2026

Last week we attended a screening of Left Behind, a powerful documentary about the group of moms who founded the 1st public school for dyslexia in New York City. We were inspired by the #ParentPower & the emphasis on literacy best practices that work for all kids, especially those with dyslexia 💜

Here’s to the next chapter of parent power and partnership in education. Let’s do this for our kids—TOGETHER!

Real talk: The difference between parents who complain and parents who create change isn't how angry they are. It's whether they have a plan. Time to get one. 🎯
