    iVILLAGE SURVEY REVEALS THAT 3 OUT OF 4 RESPONDENTS BELIEVE PARENTS NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR CHILD'S ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT Parent Involvement And Advocacy To Be Explored In NBC News "Education Nation" Summit Session With Natalie Morales-- Monday, Sept. 26 Join The Conversation During A Live Chat At iVillage.com, Where Session Will Be Live- Streamed NEW YORK-- Sept. 15, 2011-- In a recent survey by iVillage , the majority of respondents made it clear that they consider themselves involved in their child's education, with 73% stating parents should be held accountable for their child's academic achievement. But how and to what extent should parents be involved? And what is the potential impact of parent advocacy when it comes to changing school programs, systemic failures and even policy? Whether they’re advocating for more time for arts and music in their local school or for major changes in state law, parent involvement often gets started based on just one thing: the needs of their individual child. Across the country, parents are leading the charge for “trigger” laws to overhaul failing schools, to scale back high-stakes testing – and everything in between. Now some are even asking: Do parents need a union of their own? On Monday, Sept. 26th, NBC News’ "Education Nation" will explore the issue of parental involvement and advocacy with Natalie Morales moderating Stepping Up: The Power of a Parent Advocate . iVillage invites parents to join the conversation during a live stream and live chat of the session, co-hosted by Kelly Wallace, iVillage Chief Correspondent, and Shira Lee Katz, Director of Digital Learning at Common Sense Media.
