 Chicago public schools will not only be handing out student report cards, but parents will be getting one as well, officials said. Starting next year a new program will be implemented to assist parents with their children in school.Parents who have children in kindergarten through high school, will receive a report every five weeks.But as WBBM-AM Correpondent Regine Schlesinger reports, some parents are outraged. Chicago s school chief, Paul Valis defends the idea of parents report card: Parents won t get a grade.  It s just a checklist of basic things parents are supposed to be doing, such as making sure their children are going to class, doing their homework and getting to bed on time.        Valis added that the bottom line is that if schools are to succeed, the parents have to get involved with their children s education.But if the parents are not up to par with guidelines, they will be offered workshops to help improve their parenting skills.
