While the teacher is the educator, you are the parent. You know the ins and outs of your children, sharing information helps teachers to address your child's strengths and weaknesses as well as your concerns. Let the teacher know you are open to all information, including challenges. Make every effort to attend parent-teacher conferences. Parent-teacher conferences are important times to discuss your child s educational growth.
Communication is the key.
