[quote=Anonymous]I used to teach in public and we had required parent engagement time every week. We were also told to communicate with all parents every day, in some way. This could be through dojo, a phone call, or written communication in their notebook. I teach at a upscale private now and there’s much less interaction with student families. I barely know them. We are encouraged to involve guidance or administration in conversations. Conversations are much more guarded and interactions are largely driven by higher ups. When we do back to school night, for example, we deliver presentations that they create. Conferences revolve around similar speeches that are pre-approved and any that could potentially veer off track are attended by administrators. All schools are different, but I wouldn’t assume that private equates to more meaningful parent access to teachers. [/quote]
