I have not been in the classroom that long but I wonder why parents are not more involved with their children? I always heard that the only parents who come to Parents Night are the parents of the kids who do well but I want to know why? I understand that schedules conflict but there has to be some way that you can get more out of students. In Straight Talk for Today's Teacher on page 6 there is a equation that says, "student effort+effective strategies= success". The one thing that I am not understanding is why students will not give the effort.
I am sure that if I can ever answer that question then I will be writing my own book that will be a bestseller but it is frustrating to watch the future leaders of our country to sit motionless and not even contribute in class. All you can so is work to try and make one at a time understand that an education is needed.
The future depends on what we do in the present.
Mahatma Gandhi
