Parents Aren't Necessary



This was quite a different perspective on parent's involvement.  It first started out with “parent bashing”. Then it explained that teachers have the children for over 15,000 hours so the teachers have actually more time than the parents with the children.  I think the article didn’t consider that classrooms are bigger in the number of students than previously.  If teachers were able to, I’m sure they would love to spend more time with the students, but because of the number of students this is realistically not possible.

  1. I think this is a very interesting article. I agree with you that it might be skewed and not consider all the different factors, but it does raise a new perspective.
