Parents in Education

Both parents and teachers want what is best for the children in the classroom.  I think that by having students involved with what is going on, you can eliminate a lot of controversy.  Sometimes parents take the side of their child over you, this is natural.  By inolving parents with what is going on, they can also hold their child more accountable for the things that they are doing at school.

I just read an amazing blog post from George Couros, "Engaging Parents in the Learning Process."  This really got me thinking about the relationship that I could have with my student's parents.  Take a look!! http://georgecouros.ca/blog/
