"Parent Empowerment: Parents Taking Charge of Their Children's Education & Treatment" Guest: Lon Woodbury Allen and his guest, Lon Woodbury, discuss the expanding role parents are playing in choosing a school or program to help their troubled teens. Woodbury believes that "Parent Empowerment" is part of a consumer revolt that includes recent attempts to reduce the power of authorities to make decisions for parents. This includes options such as charter schools, vouchers, and home schooling. Lon Woodbury is an Independent Educational Consultant with 28 years experience helping parents who are seeking resources for their troubled children. He consults with individual parents, publishes a newsletter--The Woodbury Report--and also hosts an Internet radio talk show--Parent Choices for Struggling Teens--every Monday on LATalkRadio.com.
