Content: Our children need to feel the adults care about them and are providing a safety net when needed in order to feel successful in their own education. Sandra says: November 8, 2010 at 9:50 am
Teachers want parents to co-teach from home. Although that would be a ideal it is not a perfect world and in reality it is an unexpected demand considering the challenges many families face such as unemployment, multiple low paying jobs to meet their family’s basic needs. A reasonable expectation is that there is open communication between parent and teacher. When teachers make a sincere effort to know the family and make a genuine connection, the rest falls into place. Families will see the importance of making sure their children are ready to learn where learning should be taking place (in the classroom). Homework is not an extension of classroom learning but to reinforce what was taught. Parents want to be feel valued and respected by teachers. They want teachers that genuinely care about teaching.
