Education: 20th v. 21st century Parental Involvement

Pondering the thought of education and parental involvement in the educational process as a whole from the 20th to the 21st century when the parent or guardian took the thought of education seriously whether they did or did not have a formal education.  Comparing that to today when those raising our next group of leaders may still be a child themselves and their educational experiences and beliefs have not always been positive therefore they view teachers and administrators as the 'villain' and not as the 'professional' who is there for the success of their child. What do we as 21st century educators do to close this gap between teacher and parental involvement?
