Engaging parents and expecting kids to do much more than they do ... requires cheerleading with a lot of carrot rather than stick. I think Antonio could cheerlead a lot more, but some of his closest advisers are cynical, power-hungry, small-minded advisers.

Maybe he's suffering from a case of jet lag. Is he suggesting that we be reduced to truant officers? It seems to me to be a plan obsessed with power and control.
