I was on the board at my children's school in Phoenix: I was Mr. Daddy Daycare.
I want to be an involved parent in my daughter's life and do the things that other parents do, like go to the PTA meetings.
If you have one of the worst schools in the city, then chances are the teachers are not going to care for you. Chances are the parents don't feel seriously about coming to meet with teachers.
I was class mom at the preschool one year and I was pretty much asked not to do that again!
Parents should continue to become more involved with their communities, and more involved in their children's education.
When I used to go to school, the teachers used to say to my mum, 'Hector looks like he's going to a restaurant.' I was just that kid, I wanted to look good.
In my spare time, I volunteer at my daughters' schools so I can stay involved with the activities and parent/teacher community.
My mom was practically in the vice principal's office all the time! Now I really feel sorry that my mom had to go through such embarrassment, but I was never a harmful person.
