Parent Strike

I decided to send Hannah to school today and not participate in the Parent Strike.

The Lord opened the door for Hannah to be accepted at this school and I don't want any strikes against us, because not only do we want Hannah to remain at this school, but in two years, we'll need the principal to approve Rachel's acceptance at this school. I've been trying hard the last two school years to be seen in the positive...attending PTA meetings, being the Room Parent, volunteering at the school.

The media coverage of the Parent Strike has been great. On the way to school this morning, it made the radio news. And several other people have seen it on the television news. It was also all over the websites of the local newspapers, some including video and pictures, such as the one above. The mother in this picture is actually a mom of a student in Hannah's class.

When picking Hannah up from school, there was a noticeable difference in how many students had been kept home. It was kinda nice not having all those cars to deal with. LOL. I talked to Hannah's teacher, she was only missing seven out of twenty students. And while a couple of the teachers had as few as three and five students, all the teachers in the school did have students show for school. I'm sure we'll know tomorrow whether or not the Parent Strike was successful.
