Teachers fight a constant battle to get parents more involved. Some schools have highly involved parents and other schools have less than half of the parents show up to a back-to-school night. Part of this lack of parental involvement is a product of the drop-off generation.
This is the generation of parents who drop their kids off at school, at soccer practice, at dance lessons, at baseball. These are parents who are too busy dropping their children off to come in and participate.
While there are still many parents who are deeply involved in their children’s lives, there are too many who simply are too busy to do more than drop them off. parents need to consider where they are too busy in their own lives. Where are you dropping your children off instead of participating?
If more parents participated, how many discipline problems would never happen in the first place? How many kid would read more at home? How many kids would have help with their homework and do better on tests?
Teachers, learn tips for how to encourage parents to become more involved.
