Parents must let the teachers and administration know that they care what goes on in their children's schools. You don't have to be a "helicopter parent" but it's important to know what's going on and be ready to volunteer when asked. In the best public schools the parents are partnering with teachers, not fighting them and it really makes a difference. Your child gets a better education and you will always be kept in the loop.
