One of the most common requests from parents/carers to you as a teacher will inevitably be: “How can I help my child at home.”
This question has a habit of popping up at parents’ evenings, open events and (shockingly) directly after presentations about “helping your children at home”. Don’t let it catch you off guard.
Regardless of the context, your response needs to be considered, calculated if you will. It is simple really, (most) parents want their children to succeed in education – this isn’t the issue. The issue in reality is the lack of parental understanding regarding the ins and outs of what their little cherubs are required to do and more often how to get them to do it.
