Observing and Interacting with Families Children First-Thoughts by Libby Canady
Yes, I get so mad when we have a parent night and very few parents show up. Every fall we have a parent night. The parents come to school and we explain our curriculum, routines and etc.... Out of 6 students only 2 parents showed up. I was very disappointed, it just goes to show you that parents today just don't care. We also have family functions and it is the same thing, no one comes or just a few show up. I don't know what to do about this, but something needs to be done. Parents need to take a more active roll in their children's lives. One of my teachers suggested that we make these things mandatory, well it will be the same thing no one will come. They just don't care!
I agree about parent night. It happens here all the time, in daycare, preschool, and regular schools. The same parents show up everytime. What does this say for the rest of the children? I'm not sure what can be done to fix this problem. However, I really don't think that making it mandatory will work. What would be the consequence? I know where I live, parents still would not show up. The only thing that would make them is if their child would be kicked out of school and that is not legally allowed. Good luck with this issue. If you find any results and plans of action, I would love to know.
