It is important that parents and educators both agree how best to meet the needs of a student. Include discipline policies in your questions. Find out if the school has strong parental support and learn how you can become involved. Parental involvement in the school is vital because it influences a child's performance and the success of the school. Understand the values upheld by the school.
Some schools are more traditional, while others tend to be liberal.
Charter and option schools often have stated ideals they adhere to which make them distinct. Also, values may vary from teacher to teacher. Visit the school. The learning environment must not only be safe, but must allow your child to learn without distraction.
