A new poll shows most Michigan parents have doubts about the education their children are getting.
Ed Sarpolus, with Target Insyght, says pollsters asked the opinions of 1,000 parents of children in traditional and charter public schools, private schools and home schools.
He says only 12% say current teaching practices in Michigan are meeting the needs of their children.
“They’re not confident that the methods being taught now do help their children succeed. Not only in class but also in life,” says Sarpolus.
76% of parents surveyed say Michigan schools should allow students to progress through learning at their own pace and have an individualized learning plan.
The survey was sponsored by the nonprofit organization Your Child.
