So its very intentional that admin are not wanting parents involved. I wouldn't pull him out just yet, but if you're concerned about content and quality instruction, ask to see his teacher's lesson plans. Email thoughts about how Tre can continue learning at home and how he can be engaged more in the lesson (and cc the admin). If this seems too audacious for them; then its time to go and consider other schools. Public schools are lacking but quality teachers still exist. Next trip see how instruction is delivered. Is it engaging, age appropriate, differentiated (to address indiv learning styles)? Do the teachers have an open door policy? And ask about other ways parents can be involved. Its a challenge but you have to know what to ask. Heck ask how funds are allocated, get gritty!

The admin seems to not want any sort of parent interactions, no PTA, and the space they are in is crampped. I like the teacher he is with but anytime I bring an positive idea or concern she always plays the role that her hands are tied....what would you do?Glam in Cincyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07056694962009341815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5211409671390552519.post-18722872979406766832010-08-21T13:15:47.507-04:002010-08-21T13:15:47.507-04:00Parents like you add another dimension of joy to t...Parents like you add another dimension of joy to teaching.
