Chapter Fifteen - Parents as Partners

A.
R. This was a cool chapter, and exactly what I've been hoping to read in one of our books. We need to get parents online. There is certainly something to be said for sending parent newsletters through the mail. House visits, personally I find them a little sketchy, but we should still continue to do them. There is a growing disconnect between students and parents. Adults need to work harder and longer to make enough money to support their families. That means more time spent away from their kids. No one wants that, it's just how it is. We need to find better, faster, more efficient ways to reach our students' parents. What Wormeli described in the book seems perfect. A place online where parents don't need to worry about not understanding the content being taught. Hey, if we can teach a bunch of preteens, I'm sure a few middle aged parents would be a piece of cake.
