6. Collaboration
…means sharing — de-privatizing — the work
and it means talking candidly—and being able to
disagree constructively—about how we achieve
shared goals.
We share responsibility for the success of ALL
the students.

7. Parents
Parents are the first teachers. They are responsible for
the development of values, attitudes and habits that
will be needed as their children associate with
classmates in school. Such inculcation are likewise
beneficial when they work and play with neighbors
and the community at large.

8. Teachers
Teachers enrich the students’ experiences at home,
thus strengthening the valuable, personal traits and
characteristics initially developed by parents. In the
end, the attention and efforts of both “custodians” are
accorded acknowledgement and recognition by
members of the entire community.
