No Parent left behind

No parent left behind is a interesting article in the sense that we should start there with no child left behind. If there is no relationship between school and home it has often proven very difficult for children and students alike to succeed. In the reading it mentions that most of these parents view education as important and have a fairly good impression of the public school. It becomes negative when they are written off or given adequate resources. A great line in the article was this, " .. educators must identify a way to create "effective partnerships " with parents that match the REALITY of many households." I bold the reality for the simple reason that in many low income homes reality there is more illiterate and less resource for teachers to rely on. We have to know that many children come to school with less than most of there wealthier piers. Even in many suburban schools kids still get the amount of literacy experiences we would like them to have. I believe it was do not just last week that we talked about the number of hours that children need before they come to school. For intense in the questions that parents answered they thought that the school shared the responsibility of reading and sharing stories with children. This may be true to a certain extent but unfortunately we need parents to read everyday to young people and in some format demonstrate that reading is fun and exciting. A great way to do this is having children read to there parents and family.
