Perot Challenged
On Fines For Failure
A leader of the state’s
second - largest teacher's
association has challenged
H. Ross Perot's statement
that parents should be fin-
ed if their children fail.
Mike Morrow, executive
director of the 37, 000-mem-
ber Association of Texas P
Professionas Educators
(ATFE), said that Perot's
idea to fine parents for their
children's failure to meet
specific school objectives
and perhaps to deny such
students the right to attend
public school, would turn
Texas public education
into a " system for the priv-
aleged few. "
"It appears that he has
lost sight of the fact that
children have differing ed-
ucational needs and that
public educstors strive to
teach each student to his or
her fullest potential, " Mor-
row said.
According to an Austin
American-Statesman report,
Perot, chairman of the Gov-
ernor's Select Committee
on Public Education, sug-
gested the fine for parents
during an address to the Tex-
as Association of Middle

Morrow added that the
statement indicates Perot
believes that the education
of future generations is sole-
ly a parent's responsibility
rather than society's commit-
ment.
"We've long maintained
that a well-educated citizen-
ry is the goal of every per-
son, " Morrow said. "A TIE
has long supported the need
for increased parental in-
volvement in public educa-
tion, but to fine parents for
not meeting educational ob-
jectives would signal to non-
parents that their input is
merely financial.
"Many school districts
across the state already are
having a difficult time pass-
ing school bond issues for
needed improvements, the
subliminal effect of Mr. Per-
ot's idea would be to decrease
public support of education. "
Morrow also said that the
idea leaves low-income
Texans with few options
and may cause more afflu-
ent parents to place their
children in private schools.
"What if a parent is unable
to pay the fine?" Morrow
asked. "And furthermore,
. who is to evaluate whether
a parent is meeting these ob-
jectives and who is to col-
lect the fines?
"The system of public ed-
ucation in this state is based
on equal educational oppor-
tunity for all children. Are
we to deny this right to some
because they advance more
slowly than the objectives de-
mand or because their parents
are not involved enougn?"
Morrow said that ATPE
has publicly supported the
efforts of the Select Com-
mittee and will continue
to do so. He added that
Perot's latest statements
"fortunately reflect only
the opinions of one man
with one vote on the com-
mittee. "
