Classroom Management Starts at Home

Posted by Jennifer Wagaman May 22, 2009

In Baltimore, city schools are expelling children permanently from schools after serious infractions including attacking teachers, arson and detonating explosives. While this seems extreme, the parents of these students have had opportunities to teach important lessons that could have prevented the expulsion in the first place. Convincing busy parents to become more involved in their children's lives should not be as complicated as it currently is, but doing so may help prevent many of the discipline problems teachers face in the classroom.

It is important that teachers work with parents to involve them in their children's lives, both the good and the bad parts. Doing so will not only aid dramatically in the education process but will allow the teacher a chance to teach instead of spending time disciplining.

Teachers wear many hats: disciplinarian is one of them and always will. But the role of parent needs to be played by those at home caring for the children.
