Issues
facing Parent Teacher Associations
We all know
how important involved parents are when it comes to influencing your child’s
success. Involved parents can have a significant impact on the classroom
experience of their children and their classmates by participating in their
school’s Parent Teacher Association.
Parent
Teacher Associations and Parent Teacher Organizations help bridge the gap
between home and school. Knowing what your child’s teachers expect of you and
your child is as important as making sure they know what you expect of them.

children are not only prepared for “the test”, but prepared for their future –

unfortunate side-effects of No Child Left Behind is role of Language Arts in the
classroom. It is very hard to measure writing ability on a standardized test and

academic world are saying that today’s college freshmen simply do not have the
writing skills they need to be effective in a collegiate environment.
