Summary

Parents and Teachers should develop a positive attitude towards education for their children to achieve good results in school. Working together for this goal will be the best for them to do.

Paraphrase and response

Teachers feel parents should also play a big role in helping their children learn. According to Sheila Wolfendale, "All parents care about their children's welfare and well being. There is sufficient evidence that the tiny minority of parents who appear not to care are those who at the time are overwhelmed by stressful life - events and financial pressure, and whose own experience of schooling was not positive enough for them to overcome fears and anxieties about school and teachers." [Empowering Parents and teachers 7]. There has been some truth that Teachers and Parents point fingers at each other when children fail to do well in school. Instead of accusing each other teachers should advise Parents what is best for their children and parents in turn must accept the advice and compy with it. Children belong to both home and school. Sheldon and Phillip stated, "Principals and Teachers must accept responsibility and be accountable for the performance of the children in their schools." [Sheldon Marcus and Phillip D. Vairo 18]. Infact there is enough evidence the Teachers and Parents must play important roles in educating their children and both need to come together and find ways and means they can fulfil these aims and achieve the goals of education.

Final topic choice
Roles of Parents and Teachers in Schools of Today


Therefore, Roles of Parents and Teachers in Schools of Today will be my final topic. I might find it difficult to express what I would like the Parents and Teachers to do but I would feel satisfied to say the few advice I have about educating children. As a former teacher changing to another major I am happy to go back to Education issues again and try and tell all the experiences I had in being a teacher for 1st graders and 2nd for more than ten years.
