  • i dont mean to be mean but y does anyone care this vid or any vid wont make a difference on youtube but if u want to change it u have to get out of the house get together with parents,teachers,princabals, and find a way to change it or even go to the school disrtict and talk to them.

  • Hi comedymaker1,

    The guest on the blogtalkradio show essentially said the same thing.

    This video summarizes the show (see link in the description box) for TY group members.

    The archived recordings fo the show serve as a permanent repository of solutions fo the community(ies).

  • I think that's a good ideas of hers, as well.

  • My mother always told me the same thing, and I grew up when education was good: the parents don't want to be involved. She went to all the PTA meetings, met with every one of my teachers. They were honest with her, too: where I was bad, where good.

    Maybe part of the solution is to empower the parents: have Saturday classes on basic reading skills, balancing one's checkbook, how to get a car loan, stuff like that. Make it fun. Then parents have more confidence to GET involved?

  • One of the guests on the show pointed out that studies had shown that parents who were uninvolved felt intimidated by the teachers' knowledge.

    So I think your idea has merit, brainout. It would help the parents to feel empowered and less intimidated by the knowledge of teachers; and would get them involved in educational activities of their own - so they could relate to their children and also role model study, etc.
