Well if you read the article you would notice the parents sat on a "homework" committee and apparently nothing materialized.
They then decided to take appropriate steps in order to ensure their kids got the learning experience they wanted.
The idea of the contract was likely just as much as the school's idea as it was the parents.
This way, if the kid acts up, or doesn't finish work in class, or starts performing poorly, the school can argue that they are not holding up their end of the bargain.
