Parentalinvolvem ent
When schools, families, and community groups work together to support
learning, children tend to do better in school, stay in school longer, and like
school more. Thats the conclusion of A New Wave of Evidence, a report
from Southwest Educational Development Laboratory (2002).
The report, a synthesis of research on parent involvement over the past
decade, also found that, regardless of family income or background,
students with involved parents are more likely to:
Earn higher grades and test scores, and enroll in higher-level programs
Be promoted, pass their classes, and earn credits
Attend school regularly
Have better social skills, show improved behavior, and adapt well to school
Graduate and go on to postsecondary education

A teacher was teaching a class
when a theft was noted.
The classroom was chaotic with a
drunk student and other students
trying to hide items from school
officials before their bags were
searched.
The teacher made a joke stating
that he would hide cigarettes and
other items if the students paid
him.
A student asked if he was joking
and he replied that he was.

The school then fired the


teacher Stating that there was a
failure to comply with the Code
of Ethics of the Education
Profession of Florida, specifically
misconduct in office.
Conclusion: Court ruled that
although it did impair his
affectiveness in the school
system, it was not an abuse of
discretion to terminate Walker on
the basis of misconduct in the
office.

M y Thoughts

Yes, teachers should be


paid more for what they
have to put up with.
But if Parents were more
involved and did not
expect the teachers to
raise their kids, then they
would not have to put up
with so much.

Education starts at home


and teachers should be a
supplement to that
education.
Children could learn so
much more if they were
respectful, and went to
school with the intentions
of getting an education.
