We discuss the findings of the Parent Report Card, which shows that parents are anxious and uncertain about academic preparedness, mental health support, and preparation for the future in schools. The conversation explores how students grade their schools and the factors contributing to their overall experience. It highlights the importance of engagement, individualized learning, and mental health support in improving students' experiences. The conversation also addresses the challenges of providing mental health resources and the need for teachers to connect families with available services. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the need for schools to listen to students' voices and make improvements to support students better. Zach Hrynowski is a Senior Education Researcher at Gallup.
