Content: Sometimes parents and teachers both are guilty of dismissing the other’s viewpoint. As a parent, the more dismissed you feel, the less likely you are to participate in your child’s education. As a teacher, the less you feel like you’re being heard, the more likely you are to stop communicating with a parent. Things that may seem confrontational, like an outline of what kind of homework help a teacher wants from a parent or a parent outlining what the school needs to do to accommodate a child’s peanut allergy, aren’t always as demanding as they appear. The end goal is the same for both the parent and the school: helping kids be responsible, safe, and successful. Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback!
