There is no good argument for not having transparency in lesson plans for parents
Personally I believe this actually is the norm, but if it isn’t, it should be. Parents should be allowed to know what their child is being taught, but not just for the obvious reasons. It is a parent’s job to instill a sense of time management and prioritizing in their child. Children for the most part always want to take the path of least resistance. So when it comes to academics, this means many children will try to pull the wool over their parent’s eyes on how they are doing in school if they can get away with it
My biggest gripe from parents is that they didn’t find out how badly their child was failing everything until they were like 3 weeks into failing. Parents who weren’t provided info on the kid’s lesson had no way of verifying what the kid was telling them. A parent should stay on top of their kid’s lesson, as a form of accountability to teach responsibility
If bad things aren’t being taught, there should be nothing to hide. Transparency always

Parents dont get to micromanage what everyone else' kid is taught. Why dont we leave this up to the expert who actually get paid to study these sorts of things. If they want that we have this thing called home schooling and I know you know this. We cant have 20,000 parents telling the school 20,000 different things about what is and is not acceptable, according to their own feelings.
Could you imagine parents going into the classroom while their kid is sitting there trying to learn, timmys dad said hes not allowed to learn about evolution even if timmys favorite movie is jurassic park and he collects fossils. Sorry timmy, youve been denied your education cause your mom and dad dont believe in it.
You want that...? Parents already have opt out sheets for anything questionable, like sex education, the movie "Roots", Schindler's List, all those historical films we all saw and had to get a permission slip signed to do so.
The only issue here is they dont control it 100% like they want to control everything else.
