Parental Involvement in Education | Ebrownie.net - Education Articles - http://ebrownie.net/science...
Some good research why fathers should be involved in their child's education.". . . He concluded that the involvement of fathers is related to the preparedness of children for school. He explained that when fathers participate in the literacy activities with their children they break the barrier that is often seen when parents cannot give attention towards studies of their children at their homes due to low literacy and no help. When fathers become involved with their children’s education, they teach their children about the achievement with literacy, value of schooling and power of knowledge (also see Karther, 2002). - Wayne Brewin from Bookmarklet

What Should Classroom Teachers Know about Homeschooling? « Just Enough, and Nothing More - http://justenough.wordpress.com/2008...
"what should a teacher know about homeschooling, in their capacity as a professional?" - Summer from Bookmarklet
I think its much the same here in the UK, we have looked at homeschooling but there is not many resources freely available and I think there are a low percentage of people doing it. Maybe over time more people will see it as beneficial and as the demand for information grows, so will the supply. - Wayne Brewin

Quick guide to choosing the right TV shows for your children. It's difficult enough but they are running shows earlier and earlier in the day now, for example Dr. Who is great but not suitable for my 4 year old so why was it on a staurday night around 7.00pm? - http://education.families.com/blog...

HotChalk Zogby Survey Shows Teachers Want More Parental Involvement in Kids' Education - http://www.earthtimes.org/article...
I asked a while ago whose responsibility it is for your child's education, parent or teacher? It seems, according to this survey, that not enough parents are taking their share of the responsibility of their #child's education. - Wayne Brewin from Bookmarklet

Mike Adams has a great Podcast that I believe every parent should hear when it comes to ADHD and ADD. Sorry Wayne, I could not get the link in a comment to your post. - Sheryl Loch
Sheryl, this is a real eye opener and very scary, thanks for sharing it, the more people realise what type of drugs are being pushed on our kids the more we can do about it. - Wayne Brewin

Firstly, welcome to my Child Education Room. Question: Whose role is it any way to ensure your child exceeds at school? Teacher or Parent?
Thank you for the room invite Wayne! I could answer your question with a hour long rant with what is wrong with parents, teachers, entire school systems, government control over all of this... But, instead I will keep it short. I am totally responsible for my child. I homeschool. People also need to understand (so I do not need to debate this later) We do not homeschool to shelter her... more... - Sheryl Loch
Both, though I think parents hold a great responsibility than teachers. But not by much. - Summer

Answer to your question: a child is most teachable when they have learned adequate behavior and interaction skills with both other children and adults. Therefore, I believe that the success of a child's education is heavily reliant on the parent/parents way before the teacher and the child meet.
Sue Maddock
Definitely the parents I think, how can you leave the future of your children in the hands of someone who is, to all intents and purpose, a stranger? The parents have the sole responsibility to ensure that their children are excelling in the way they want them to.
Wendy J. Roan
Thank you for the invite to join the group. I have a six-yr old who is transferring from private school to public school come this September and need lots of guidance!
