Make your child’s teacher your best friend!  

As a parent, you should know your child’s teacher well. You are in a partnership together to ensure your child is learning all he or she can. Find ways to work together so your child feels supported. Ask questions and don’t be fearful of challenging the learning process. Your goal is to demonstrate a unified front. Never disagree with a teacher when your child is present. The child needs to experience a sense of cooperation. You can challenge a teacher, but not in front of the child.
