Content: I believe in most cases a lack of involvement by parents is caused by a bit of fear. I think it is quite uncomfortable for parents to bridge the gap of communication problems. Basically, both parents and teachers want and need to have better communication in order to work as a team in the child’s education. However, it is hard to converge the two paths. One way to create daiy or weekly discussion is to use the on-line system schools now have. Instead of leaving it to parents to access these sites and see what their child failed maybe it could include a more comprensive system of communication. I think parents and teachers could create a team to solve this problem and actively pursue a mutually satisfying result. Getting input from the students would be very informative. The first thing I would work on is the animosity and fear between the two groups. The culture of involvement must be nurtured and prioritized.
