I can only speak from personal experience..
but there does seem to be a difficulty in properly engaging parents. At my daughter's primary school we used to attend all of the governors' meetings and there would often be more people on the top table than in the audience.
I'm sure that all of the parents, when questioned, would say that they cared about their childrens education and I'm sure that most of them did, but actually getting them to actively do anything about it was a wholly different matter.
