  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!)
One way that my school has handled this is by getting help throughout the community. I work in a town where church is sacred and most people attend every Sunday. Our principals and grade chairs have had meetings with preachers and Sunday School teachers, emphasizing the importance of parental involvement in education. The principals also provide the preachers with a list of dates- parent/teacher conference nights, community involvement meetings, Board of Education meetings, etc. and the preachers mention these during church and encourage parents to go. We have even had preachers create entire sermons about how parents are the guiding force in a child's life and need to be involved. I know this may not work in every community, but involving those around the parents and having someone that means something to them encourage the parents to get involved, has really helped my school.
