[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Same issue at my school. Half of my class has folders that are never emptied. Nobody signs anything (report cards, progress reports, field trip slips, etc). Beyond frustrating. This is a parent issue. [/quote]

So what can we do to help struggling parents? Because people generally love their kids and want them to succeed. Most parents won’t care if their kid isn’t on the Straight A Honor Roll or doesn’t get into a magnet, but I’ve never encountered a parent who wanted their child to be illiterate and face humiliation in school over being in the lowest reading group.[/quote]

We do as much as we can at school but aside from abuse/neglect, these kids are stuck with their parents. Hell, my own mother comes into my school every week to read and practice sight words with my struggling students. Yes, it takes a village but parents are their child’s first and most important teacher. Part of your job as a parent is to support what goes on at school. I can’t imagine where I would be without my mom supporting my education. [/quote]
