Most schools, especially elementary schools, do a great job of communicating to parents.
Kids carry home notes and letters from teachers and principals.
Parents are often invited to assemblies or programs where educators talk to them. Typically, two or three times a year, a parent-teacher conference is held. Parents listen as teachers talk to them about their children. This kind of one-way communication, educators talking to parents, is insufficient, however. If children are to grow and learn and reach their full potential, parents and teachers need to work collaboratively, as a team.
