All parents should be required to volunteer time to their children's schools

 

Teachers and parents have a responsibility of seeing to the development of a child: academically, socially and morally, but parents have greater part in this duty. A modern age in which parents take jobs as more important than the home, may be a major cause why parents may not find time to visit their chidren’s schools. I believe this recommendation would be beneficial to students, teachers and parents.

Firstly, such visits create an avenue for parents to get firsthand information on the academic development of their lads.Nowadays, parents tend to be very busy and many find it difficult monitor the academic progress of their kids; thus, through these visits they are able to discuss with tutors who know kids’ strong and poor subject areas. And such discussions can also offer ways of checking their bad grades; it could be by extra home lessons or more reading when such kids get home.

While all kids don’t struggle with academics, they may not show impertinence and bad behaviours. In some cases kids don’t show certain behaviours at home or some are able to dissemble such foibles when at home. Well-trained teachers are able to discern such quirks in kids, and on regular parental visits, teachers may find a need to talk about these issues with parents. This could bolster parent’s chances of curbing such bad behaviours before they exacerbate into entrenched ones.

Although an issue of parents interference in the duties of teachers may been seen as a problem by detractors of this recommendation, teachers-parents rapport would help improve learning methods of kids with learning disabilities as parents would inform teachers. Any recommendation that could engender efficient learning methods for kids is a welcome idea.
