What is the author so upset about?
The main point that she is upset about is that the parents of students in public schools are left out of decision making. As the parents are the primary people who will know what needs to be done (along with actual teachers) this is more than justified. She is also upset about the absurd spending that schools do, but notes that that could be stopped is there was more involvement of parents.
What is her solution?
Mainly for parents to force themselves into the situation. Ideally they would be asked by the government to partake, but this is unlikely. Since we cannot wait around for the system to do the right thing, people need to take an active role.
What are your plans for working with parents in your classroom?
I think that parents are central to teaching, but they will only be as involved as they want to be. I will have a web page where parents can see exactly what we are doing on a weekly basis (I've thought about posting my lesson plans) and I will provide an email address for parents to email me with any ideas, questions or concerns that they may have. If parents wish, I will try to always be available to speak with them in person. Teaching is a group effort, and i will do my best to express that to students as well as parents.
How will you use technology to support parent-teacher-student connections?

What other feelings would you like to share in response to Ms. Loh's article?
I think that teachers should always form partnerships with parents whenever possible and in any way possible.
