Hi Frances, I agree that all the adults in a child's life are necessary to that child's education. The child who has a group of adults teaching him or her how to be a good sport, using proper manners, the best way to play with friends, as well as academic subjects will be a successful adult. The teacher in school just doesn't have the time to do all the educating that is necessary, and parents aren't always around for the "teachable moment". Thank goodness for the Sunday school teachers, scout leaders, and coaches who give their time and educate our children above and beyond what teachers and parents do.

Hello Frances!

Your comment about going back to your first love resonates deeply with me...I've been in denial for ten years about what I really want to do with my life - teach music! I firmly agree that all-around support is essential to a genuine education - "it takes a village", as they say. I'm a bit of a crusader for the idea that the arts are an essential part of total learning, and not just fun activites. As much as I am a firm believer that every child deserves the full involvement of parents, administrators, teachers, etc., I'm aware every child is not served properly. I'm very interested in finding ways that I as a teacher can provide a stopgap for students that are being failed by one or more elements of their "village" (absentee or apathetic parents, reduction or removal of school programs, social/personality issues, etc...)

I like your statement that says that the children need positive encouragement. That is so important because alot of students especially in low income areas are put down by their teachers, parents, and peers. Also, I agree with you that students need a great support system and I believe that parents need to get more involved.Jbrow090 (talk) 23:07, 30 January 2009 (UTC)Jbrow090 (talk) 16:24, 6 February 2009 (UTC)Jbrow090 (talk) 16:25, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
