There will more than likely be fewer behavior problems in such an instance. Family involvement in the classroom prepares the child and gives the child support in the home. Having family involvement in the classroom is just as important as having family involvement at an athletic event. Supporting the kids is the number one way to demonstrate that you value what they are doing. Parents have already assumed the role of a teacher whether they are aware of this or not.
Children model their parents' behavior, ideals, morals, values, and social behaviors instinctively.
The parents have the greatest influence over their children. Educators are admired and looked up to because of their mysterious wisdom, but no teacher will ever have the impact on a child that a parent does. While that may seem a little depressing, it is also very encouraging to us, as teachers. Parents can act as mentors, they can instigate and maintain reading groups, they can bring to light some cultural issues by telling of their heritage or experience, or they can share favorite stories with the class. Parents can also be great supporters.
