“The fact is, children do much better in school when parents and children work together. That’s why we'd like to encourage parents to get involved in their children's education,” she said.
The brochures distributed in Rappahannock by the local association list dozens of ways parents can participate in and improve their child’s school learning experience.
General suggestions for parents include:
+Take time to meet your child’s teacher, and follow up on your child’s progress.
+Listen to your child, and let him know you’re interested.
+Remember to ask your child what he did in school" and don’t accept “nothing” for an answer.
More specific suggestions are offered for preschool, elementary school, middle school and high school students and include ideas and sample projects related to specific subjects.
The brochures are part of a statewide campaign by the RCEA and other local affiliates of the Virginia Education Association, and are designed to reacquaint citizens, particularly parents, with their public schools.
“We want parents and the public to be more, not less, aware of our schools, not as impersonal institutions, but as places where children should and do learn everyday," said Mrs. Baines.
Copies of the brochure may be obtained from any RCEA member.
