I would like you to present an article “Good education begins at home, not school.” The item was published on the Guardian website. The author supposes that the biggest problems in our education system have their roots outside the classroom. Too many children start school without the social and verbal skills to be able to take part in lessons and to behave well – only parents are guilty in it. However, schools have been increasingly expected to fill gaps in children’s development left by inadequate parenting. For teachers it will be a very hard mission to shoulder the entire social burden that comes from irresponsible parenting, because teachers are trained primarily to teach. They cannot effect radical on gaps in education that depends on parents, but they should take on some pastoral duties.

In my opinion, the main place where child raises
is a family, so home background is very important today. First of all, we need
to teach parents, how to raise their lovely kids. Sometimes they do not
understand responsibility in upbringing kids, they have never put aside enough
time to look after their children. Modern parents prefer dumping all raising
and educational troubles in schools or a government. Clear majority of parents
do not want to waste time on this global issue, they blame teachers to hide
their failures. Moreover, too many of these parents say that they want their
children to have a decent education but do nothing. In my view, teachers should
play only a small role in raising process that based on parents. Teachers need
educate and time to time give spiritual directions, as adults do not approve if
a rank outsider pokes the nose into other people’s affairs.

What is your opinion on these questions:
Will the parents permit and enact teacher’s disciplinary recommendations?
What will you do with a problematic child, who
disrupts lessons, if his parents are totally negligent of their kid?
Is it normal when child prefers to discuss his
personal problems with class teacher until close relatives?
I agree with Sofia, because the main success is bring up. Children should tell their parents about different problem.
ОтветитьУдалитьI find this article useful for many parents today. I agree with Sophia in the case. I believe that the education of the child should begin at home, in the family. Parents must teach their children behavior and manners.
ОтветитьУдалить1) I believe that parents should permit and enact teacher’s disciplinary recommendations, but do not take them ideal for the child's upbringing, I still think that parents should contribute to the upbringing of the child, and not strictly follow the recommendations of teachers/
2) I think we should hold a conversation with the child in an informal, good atmosphere and try to explain to him the importance of education for his future/
3) In my opinion, the child should consider parents their closest people and share problems with them, not with strangers. But, unfortunately, sometimes parents do not understand their children and they share their problems with teachers.
It's very interesting and useful both to parents and to teachers article. Nowadays schools're expected to fill all children's gaps in social and verbal filds. As Sofia said,the majority of parents really don't pay attention to their own mistakes in upbringing children, they have many justification and explanation why they aren't able to spare enough time with kid and it's teacher's responsibility to educate their child. I don't want to get down school's duties in raising children,ofcourse teschers must provide them with social skills, but it doesn't mean that parents can do nothing.
ОтветитьУдалитьAnswering Sofia's question,I can say that the parents should take into consideration teachers' disciplinary recommendations and try to help them.
In case when child prefers to discuss his personal problems with you than with close relatives,I will speak with parent and try to understand posible problems in family's relationship.
If I have a problematic child, who disrupts lessons, I'll try to speak with them friendly out of the classroom activity, to explain him that it's not pleasant to call his name during the lesson, by no means to abuse and reproach him.
1)I believe that every year teachers are losing authority in the the parents eyes in our country. It seems to me that the parents perceive less than half of the recommendations. And it's depressing. Perhaps goverment should change the policy regarding teachers, help to make the teaching profession more respectable.
ОтветитьУдалить2) I think you need to talk quietly with the child. To find out what caused this behavior. It's difficult but it seems to me that the teacher must be a friend to each student. Friendly relationship, where the teacher respects the student and the student teacher can help to solve the behavior problem.
3) I think that it's okay to trust the teacher. If a child has understanding problems with parents, it seems to me that the teacher should talk with them. Perhaps pupil told you that he is concerned about the family and you will be able to help parents to remedy the situation. Worse, if the parents are not going to build relationships. Here our efforts are futile.
