Idea to send: |

| Content | I have been a teacher for over 20 years and continue to see and be concerned with the lack of parental support and involvement. Parents seem to send their children to school and expect everything from free breakfast and lunch, free school supplies, free tutoring, free pass for homework, free accountability, and free Christmas gifts! What exactly are the parent's responsibilities? When many of these wayward students get suspended or come in contact with authority the parents want to take issue with the school. I propose a family court and counseling unit at every school to deal with the lack of parent involvement and poor student behavior and performance. If a student is suspended the parent "MUST" participate even if mandated by a family court judge to undergo counseling, tutoring, parenting classes or whatever the case may require. Maybe parents will step up and assist in stopping these problems from occuring in the first place. |
