How To Change The School System | Parental Involvement in Children’s Education

On today's episode of Classical Et Cetera, the table sits down to talk about parent involvement in education. What tools do parents need to confidently engage with their children's education? How can parents feel more equipped to help their children succeed in their educational journey? What is the parent's role in children's education, why is parent-teacher communication important, and how will student's engagement in class improve when the parents engage themselves in what children are learning? What might be possible if parental involvement started in early childhood when a successful jumpstart in school matters most? Engaging with the curriculum, staying knowledgeable in children's literature and reading, and impressing upon your children the value of their own education will lend a huge hand to schools, teachers, and ultimately your family itself. Everyone plays a part in a child's education, and that part can be good or bad. It will take a lot of work to fix the American education system, but a parent that stays involved in the classroom or homeschool has made it known that they care, that they're engaged, and that their children are set up for success.
