In relation to our class discussion today about civic engagement, this article talks about getting parents involved within their child's schooling. They say this will help eliminate non-academic barriers to learning, such as poverty and substance abuse. We can see this is obviously an important facet of American governance because federal funds are being allocated for this project and the realization has occurred that people come from all walks of life and it is ultimately one's personal life/actions that create who they are. School districts can be considered social capital because they provide mutual benefit between the students and community. America must work before it loses its social capital.
