"The involvement of parents who are well-educated, well-to do, or have larger amounts of time to be involved has not been shown to be more beneficial than the involvement of less-advantaged parents.

All parent involvement works and works well."

~Cotton, K & Wikelund, K Reed.  (2001, August 31) Parent involvement in education.


STRAIGHT TALK
The areas defined as "straight talk" provide valuable information on how you can help your child. We place no blame here. Many educators will say that parents/guardians don't care about their child's education. We disagree. We believe that parents and guardians care, but are sometimes unsure as to how to help - AND find teachers and administrators who seem "too busy" to tell you how. YOU are an important part of the puzzle. And, if you can't find what you need on these pages...contact us with your questions. We're here to help.
