I am a newly certified teacher and a parent of two children. I have been on both sides of this issue to some degree or another. As a teacher I believe keeping a continuous line of communication with the parents is crucial. Not all parents have the time or ability to stay proactively involved in their child’s daily school progress. Never have I heard of a parent that did not appreciate being actively included in their child’s daily or weekly activities. Many parents avoid contact with a teacher until major problems occur because they are unfamiliar with the process. I have heard in many schools that teachers, at times, give up including parents because it appears they are apathetic.
