...PARENTS ARE THE BEST TEACHERS Parents are the people from whom you can learn more because all the time you'll be at your side and the love they have you can become your best teachers but not always so. The total of time a adolescent interrelates with paternities makes them the most powerful force in a child´s life. The child gets to learn the most basics of things like walking, speaking and interacting with others. It is under the protections of parents that a child learns to behave in society and to comfort him or herself. Although parents are the most influential teachers in their children’s life, they may not be regarded as the best teachers. Parents generally provide a biased view of the world; they always favor their child, and thus they cannot provide a complete panoramic view of the society. Also parents may set a bad example for their child abusing and fighting amongst themselves. Psychologists and recent crime charts have proved that young outlaws generally come from disrespectful families, and have grown up in extreme environments. A child interacts with many kinds of teachers at schools and colleges. Although these teachers, being professionals, have limited time to devote to a child, they provide a complete a diverse view to their students. They provide unbiased guidance to a child. During the years of adolescence, children tend to be aggressive and nonconforming to others view. So the parents need to act like friends rather than teachers to get their...

...on Helping Parents As a future teacher here are ways that would create positive system between the teacher, student and parent. First step is always having a positive and trustworthy relationship between parent and teacher. Another way in having a positive relationship is to have an open communication with parents. The third and final step is to collaborate with the parents on what might work and might not work with giving the student the best education possible. The first step is being positive and developing trust. A parent with a child with disabilities that has discipline issues is not an easy issue to deal with, so the parent might be guarded in having a positive relationship with the teacher. Generating trust between the teacher and parent are crucial for the education of the student by showing the parent that the teacher is dedicated to her child and finding new and better ways to help the child get a higher education will lead to a better connection between guardian and educator. The second step is having a working relationship with the family were everything is out in the open because the teachers biggest strength is the family of the student because no one knows the student more or what would work best for the student then the family of the child. The third step is to collaborate with the parent on everything from school to home life. Allow the parent to be the co-teacher not only does it help the teacher but it also lessen the workload for the teacher but it also...

...are victimized the most through cyber-bulling. Adams, Caralee, an instructor, says “…Approximately 20 percent of students admitted having been cyber bullied” (Para. 5). According to Caralee, all this happens on school children. Lane, Darcy argues “Schools should talk to students about the harms associated with using technology as a social weapon against their peers” (15). According to Darcy, School teachers have to work together with parents to prevent children from cyber- bulling. On the other hand, some other scholars believe that parents have the responsibility to prevent their kids from cyber-bulling harassment. Adams Caralee says, “Just as parents wouldn't let their kids run around an amusement park, they shouldn't let kids surf online unsupervised” (Para. 18). However, schools are the main centers to prevent school children from cyber-bulling by teaching and giving advice, by making school rules and by working with parents. Teaching and giving advice to their students about the consequences of cyber-bulling to school students is the best effective way for school teachers...

...Obviously, the first teachers we have in our lives in most cases are our parents. They teach us to walk, to speak, and to have good manners before we reach "the real world." More than even the professional teachers that we have in school, parents are generally the most involved in the development and education of children. Almost for sure our parents are the best teachers at the beginning of our lives, which actually corresponds to the parents' role in nature. Parents are most committed and involved in teaching their children; they have a kind of instinct to sacrifice a part of themselves for the betterment of their children. They love us and have great patience while passing down their knowledge to us. They wish us a success and thus will not teach us bad things. And of course, implicit learning occurs when children unconsciously copy some of their parents' habits and styles of behavior. During the second stage of child development, adolescence, parents can still be in the best position to offer advice even though the children might not accept it. In this case, perhaps the child's friends would be the best teachers. Adolescents are notoriously rebellious in many cultures and may automatically reject any advice from their parents. My first marriage for instance, was solely a matter of doing the opposite when my parents tried to intrude in offering their advice. So in such matters, parents should be much more flexible and be rather the partners with their children. So we can...

...technology, it has to have a respectable academic system, and the United States has done magnificently well in those areas. The country has produced many scholars with in-depth knowledge in science, technology, and criminal law, with reputable teaches that help students achieve those educational feat. But what we have seen in the last few years is that the United States has drastically dropped among countries with great students in mathematics and science. The task of fixing the education and creating prodigious professionals as it once used to be is not only the responsibility of government, and parents, but also an obligation to the students. Education has played a significant role in the achievement of the United States in its short but illustrious history. The government acknowledges the importance of high standard academic by providing schools with nice facilities, competent teachers, and grants. But most students of this generation, however, have mismanaged those opportunity. They believe that college is not an obligation, and they do not have to work hard for good grades in school; perhaps because they are not the one paying for it. Some people even consider education to be discriminatory. For example, some believe that people should be able to get a job at NASA without having a college degree. To help transform this and makes the United States education more palpable as its used to be, the government could adopt the system of mandating college degree, just has high school...

...The speech demonstrates sensitivity to the parents when the teacher provides a copy of disclosure document to make sure parents understand how the classroom will run, how the children will be graded, classroom rules, general information to help the parents understand the classroom, and includes information directly from the State Education office on what the state expects student to learn. The teacher also provides a copy of the national standards for Social Studies, which will help parents and students prepare for the country reports which will be assigned later in the year. General effect of being sensitive right from the start of the class will help to builds a good relationship between parents and teacher. Making the disclosure document available to parents will help the parents understand what to expect in the school year. Parents have better understanding how the class room works and what the student will be taught in the school year required by the state.

...neighborhood women setup an account in MySpace anonymously to contact one of her daughter’s classmates. The goal of the woman was to find out why the girl did not go along with her daughter. After she set up the account, the women started contacting her daughter’s classmate. The girl thought the account was for a 16 years old boy. She did not realize that she was contacting her schoolmate’s mother because the woman created the account anonymously. After they started contacting to each other, the woman started abusing the girl with her repeated and mean messages. She started insulting the girl via MySpace repeatedly. Finally, the girl was found hanged behind her house. We all remember that when we were in elementary and high schools, teachers would have to stand on the play ground during break time and monitor the bullies, who would try to take another child’s lunch money, or to take a note being passed around in the classroom that would read something like “I will see you on the play ground after school.” We all passed through this kind of bulling. This kind of bulling used to be performed by physically bigger students and it was not also that much serious. However, over the past few years, with the improvement and tremendously changed of networking technology, the way of life and interaction among people has been altered completely in both negative and positive ways. For example, it has greatly impacted the education industry, making hard-to-find information more easily...

I have ways heard becoming a parent makes you a better teacher and it has proven to be true this year. My five-year-old son started kindergarten this year so I am now not only a board employee but also a parent. My view of teachers has changed a lot. For example I think I always took the first day of school for granted, but now I realize that it is a huge day for students and parents. I have had two experiences this week that got me thinking about the importance of hiring great teachers. I was working with one school this week that hired a new teacher this week. The new teacher is struggling and is incompetent with her job duties....

...that stood out where the teacher demonstrated sensitivity to the parents. First, the teacher enlisted the help of a translator to assist those whose native language is not English. Second, the teacher provided a wide variety of information to the parents to outline expectations and assignments, including state guidelines. Third, the teacher adjusted his/her schedule in order to be available until 8:00pm one night per week for parents who work and cannot make it to the school during normal hours. These instances of sensitivity can have a great impact on the parents. The hiring of a translator can impact the parents by assisting those who do not speak English to have a greater understanding of what is being said and what the expectations are for their children in the classroom. “Language differences may cut parents off from important information and prevent them from sharing their own knowledge with the professionals who are involved with the family.” (Mendoza, 2003) In addition, providing information to the parents and explaining what the information is can help to foster open communication. When teachers encourage communication and the exchange of information, they are more likely to form a cooperative relationship and get the parents more involved with their children’s education. It is also impactful for the teacher to rearrange her schedule as it is becoming increasingly common for students to reside in two-income households where both parents work. By staying late...

...believed that you can get a better education from private school rather than public school. Private schools are smaller therefore have a better flow of communication within their network of faculty, parents, and students. Back in 2014, the Rancho Solano Preparatory School (RSPS) went about some drastic changes that affected the school board, students, teachers, and parents. Providing students private education for over sixty years, RSPS has been well established within the community. Parents and students used to look forward to attending RSPS because of how prestigious it was and the school’s well known history. Unfortunately, this is no longer the case. There is no law against people who make poor decisions and the past cannot be changed, however mistakes can be learned from to make way for a better future. A change within the school board subsystem of RSPS would make room for better information flow, a better workforce structure, and for other subsystems already in place to run more efficiently. The major organizational subsystem that needs to be changes at RSPS is the school board members. On January 6, 2014, Dr. Audrey Mernard (head of RSPS) announced to her staff that they would be closing campuses in Peoria and Gilbert (Illinois) due to a “strategic direction” that is best for RSPS (Moore, 2014). This was the only explanation given to the faculty and there was no debate or discussion over the decision. As part of human resource management, to keep your workforce energetic...
