While many quality administrators involve families, there are others who wish for parents to only be present for fund-raiser events. The issue could be that many teacher and administration courses fail to train future educators about how to treat parents as allies rather than enemies. Author A. Y. Ramirez takes an autobiographical narrative approach or "restorying" perspective to reflect upon his experience and research collected throughout several years of teaching, writing, interviewing families, working with administrators; and observing within K-12 schools.
