![]() Views on Article - School Involvement Name: harish lathia Country: United Kingdom Comment: I was told by my secondry school headteacher that Parental interest ina childs education is even more important than the pastrol care provided by teachers and staff at school. Parents must not forget that tutor groups (particularly in the 'western' hemesphere)comprise of less thirty or so,than benevolent children and so the time given to each time is on average miniscule. I speak both as a teacher and a parent. Name: Hanna Country: India Comment: Parents should actively be involved with the child's school and teacher. Even for busy parents they should meet with the teacher to discuss their child's performance and how parents can help if the child is weak in a certain area in learning. Also, sometimes parents go into a defensive when teachers give advise for speech therapy, remedial schools for children who are not coping so well or Occupational therapy. They do have the right to seek a second opinion but not completely deny the fact that it can't be true. Problems detected earlier and dealt with are better than long term results of neglect! And yes both parents should be involved. Name: parent Country: U.S.A. Comment: I think that just as parenting is a shared job , both parents must also be equally involved in the child's school activicties . One piece of advice (though perspectives may vary ) is that if you are a teacher is to enroll your kids in the school that you teach him . Though it is certianlly not adviseable to tewach your kid in the classroom , this gives you a full insight into your childs performances and gives your chiuld a sense of security . Your child alaso feels the parental involvement in school activicties and will be no doubt proud to say that Mr or Mrs so-and-so is my mother or father . Name: thomas Country: India Comment: it is very importanat for parents to know what is going in the school and what their child is doing in the school. This definitely help to increase confidence in a child. good article.....
