Education Action Zones, Empowerment and Parents.
Simpson, Donald; Cieslik, Mark
Educational Research, v44 n2 p119-28 Sum 2002

The deficit model of parents as "problems" contributes to continued limitations on their involvement in school decision making and policy development. (Contains 27 references.) (SK)
