   • More than 70% of parents think their opinions lead to better lessons that keep kids engaged.

2. Using Parent Feedback:

   • Parents give their thoughts on what kids learn by filling out surveys.
   • About 65% of parents want lessons that connect to real-life situations.
   • When schools use this feedback for planning, they see a 30% boost in how well students do.

3. Support for New Programs:

   • Schools that include parents in new programs have 40% more kids taking part in them.
   • A huge 80% of parents are more open to changes in lessons when they know their views are valued.
