Frankly, I think it's a damned good idea.
With all due respect, etc. Too many parents do not take any interest in their kids' education, and it shows. The kids disrespect school, following the parents lead.
This wouldn't affect the parents who wouldn't miss a conference for anything. It does affect the parents who hold schools responsible for raising their kids and don't participate.
Bravo to the guy.
