Parent Empowerment with Mandy Drogin

Every kid is unique, and their parents know best how to answer their unique needs. That's why the Parent Empowerment movement is sweeping Texas, because Texas parents know that they are the ones who are best equipped to make educational decisions for their children. This week on Parent Empowerment with Mandy Drogin, Mandy is joined by Renea, a Texas mom whose two kids took two different educational paths for different reasons. Renea shares her heartbreaking story and reminds us all why why we fight.
