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!) Parents can be the biggest motivators to children but teachers can influence them to try better in school. I think in order to get the child motivated in the classroom by setting up reward system to get them excited about learning more.
