How can I divide myself to help all the students that actually want extra help? And how is a nice way to ask the parents again after being ignored the first time? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I know in many districts, depending on location, they have a mutual contract set up among the teacher, parent, and student that is signed by each and states that each will do their part to optimize student learning. Maybe sending home a letter stressing the importance of parent involvement that is to be signed and returned may help. Include in the letter tips for busy parents as well as parents that may feel they are incapable of helping their child with the schoolwork. I think the nicest way to consult parents is by stressing the importance of their child's education, especially in today's society and to not bring up the fact that they ignored you.
