From Good Housekeeping... (For more details, visit the complete article from Yahoo Shine http://shine.yahoo.com/event/backtoschool/9-things-teachers-wish-parents-knew-2342257/ )
1. Don't be a stranger!
2. Learning doesn't stop at 3:15.
3. Stay involved — even when you don't know the material.
4. Keep your child organized.
5. Let your child make mistakes.
6. Raise a good reader.
7. If the teacher deserves a good grade, give her one.
8. The teacher's on your side — give her the benefit of the doubt.
9. There is a secret to better grades.
My only suggestion would be for #4... To revise to “help keep your child organized” rather than doing it for them. But they do need examples and role models, which often falls on the classroom teacher — at ALL grade levels!
Which of these (or others) do you share with parents? (add your comments below!)
