This document discusses the roles of family, school, and work in teaching and learning. It addresses several key points:
1) Family is the most significant educator and family-school communication and partnerships are important for student motivation and learning. Schools need to value communication with families.
2) Schools play an important role in child development and education. School facilities affect teacher retention and student health, behavior, and achievement.
3) Work experiences during adolescence can help or hinder young people's development, so it is important to consider how employment impacts students' schooling and future attainments. The demands of work may increase dropout rates.
