  Case: Parents who do not value education.
In my three years of teaching, I can honestly say that I have had more parent conferences without the parent than I have had with the parent. It is very sad. I cannot imagine how it makes the child feel that their parent did not care enough to come. There are several students who will admit that they do not care about school, and it is not important. These students apparently do not value education because their parents do not value it in the home. The do not stress the importance of school at home. What can we do to encourage parents to encourage their kids.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I have had parents in my classroom who do not value education as well. It is very frustrating. I would contact the parents as much as possible, even just to let them know what a great day that student had. Hopefully, they will see that you care about their child and his/her education. Maybe this will make them want to encourage their kid as well.

Comments: Although I know you mean well this can sometimes back fire and the parent get more annoyed by you constantly calling.

Comments: I think this is a good solution. Keeping up communication may make the parents realize that you care about their education, and in turn, make them care as well. Especially if you include the good things their child is doing.
