Children spend more of their waking hours with their teachers than with their parents, so it's vital to consider the relationship between the most important adults in your child's life. Teachers can teach more effectively and children learn better when there is healthy communication between the home and the classroom.
Schools and teachers want to develop partnership with parents. Strong communication is fundamental to this partnership. So, teachers must continue to develop and expand skills required to build a strong partnership.
