I don't think Worthy's idea would fly. There are already schools where parents sign a contract to attend PTCs and be involved. CMA is one of those schools. They have a relatively small number of kids, parents are involved and their grad rate is one of the highest in the city. They also have all of the latest gadgets [[and they did before the make-over). If a kid screws up at CMA and their GPA falls, they get the boot. Mandatory parent meetings are held at the beginning of the year and if the parents don't attend, neither do their kids. It's nice to have schools such as this but that leaves other schools to deal with ALL of the bottom feeders [[hence the fights, the truancy, low grad rates, etc.).

I'd like to see Worthy's lil law passed but I don't think it's realistic.
