Content: IN THE HOME, WHAT CAN PARENTS DO? Parents must realize that they have the primary responsibility for their child’s education. Education begins with the family. Convey positive attitudes toward the school. Respect for school personnel must be taught in the home. Encourage your children to use their minds. Help them to apply what they learn in school to real life situations. This will help them to realize that what they learn in school and out of school are tied together. Be sure your child has a quiet place where he or she can study in private, away from other family members, radio, television, etc. Read to your children, beginning when they are very small.
