Parents make critics look stupid when it comes to public criticism of teachers. Children go home with various versions of a story and parents react differently to each. They meet up in malls, at hair salons, on sports fields … and verbally start stoning teachers to death; and all this because they get to know teachers through the mouths of their children.
Give or take, no parent will be able to stand in the shoes of a teacher and prove to be different. They don’t spend at least six to eight hours in a room with thirty to forty different types of personalities (never mind the age), for several months on end.

Learning languages and techniques will differ according to grade level. Only half of the population in schools today is above the national average in reading and writing. These statistics are available in major magazines and newspapers. Much of the attention that the teacher needs to disseminate to students and parents today is academic. Everyone must know where the student is in terms of academic progress. But what about the much needed attention to what a student is writing on a daily basis?
