The parents have not only to train their children: it is of at least equal importance that they should train themselves.

Parents don't believe that lifting life-chances in one school means reducing them in another.

The motives of these parents vary, many parents don't like the curriculum being taught to their kids, or are wary of the threat of peer pressure or the presence of drugs or violence lurking in too many of our schools today.

I remind everyone: Whether you school them at home or send them to school, you as a parent have the responsibility to make sure they learn and behave. Teachers and principals may help, but parents are the ones who must accept responsibility.

Across the globe, disadvantaged children are not living up to their potential because if they attend school at all, the schools are usually not designed to meet their extra needs.

I believe that we parents must encourage our children to become educated, so they can get into a good college that we cannot afford.

As a former teacher and someone who has devoted her entire career to children and public schools, I understand the pain and frustration of parents who feel their children are not receiving the education they deserve.

When kids start school, families often have little choice over where they can go. Sometimes, children are forced into a failing school simply because their parents live in a certain district, and that school is the only option.

Kids would never care about going to school unless your mama and daddy instilled into your head and explained to you that you need this thing to live.

Parents are supposed to instruct their kids. It doesn't mean they necessarily have that gift of teaching.
