Parent And Ed.

             Most households consist of both parents working or single parents, leading to many kids to come home to an empty house. With everybody running around busy, do parents still have time to be involved with their children's education? Parental involvement can be crucial to children's success in schools. As a future teacher I think that it is important for parents to be invovled in their child's education.
             Are schools responsible for making sure that parents are involved in their child's education? Research indicates that for parent involvement to flourish it must be meaningful and integrated with schools programs. This way they can get stuff out of it too. Joyce Epstein feels that there are six types f programs schools may use to help parent involvement. A few examples are: Schools assist families worth parenting and child-rearing skills. This helps parents become better, more involved parents leading better students. Another example of ways schools can help involve parents beyond the basic parent teacher conference or PTA meetings is by working to improve recruitment training and schedules to involve families in school activities at home. Some schools are trying to make their schools the center of community life by providing health facilities, continuing education classes, weekend activities, and providing other services on site.
             I personally feel that parental involvement is very important. First of all it shows that your parents care. School is a huge part of your life and if your parents show no interest in your education it seems like they don't care as much as parents who do get involved. Parental involvement is especially important in their younger years. I volunteered in a first grade class my senior year in high school. I did a lot of one on one with the kids, I could always tell the kids whose parents didn't take the time to work with their kids at home. They often struggled more and lacked the confidence of those whose parents had taken the time to work with their kids.
