Parental Involvement in Education

One of my girlfriends mentioned the importance of helping our children study. She placed an interesting post on Facebook about how our children are struggling in school. This is so true. Our children need help. The teachers are stressed out. They can't go home with these kids. We, as parents, need to step up and do our part. It is not all the school's fault. It is not the total responsibility of the teacher. Parents must do something too. As an educator, I find myself sacrificing my own time at home trying to grade papers, do lesson plans, think of fun activities, and worried about test scores. I realized that I spend more time studying than my students do. It should never be this way.
