Helping out in your kid's classroom is a great way to get involved with your child's school.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The idea of kids helping other kids is such a great way to introduce children to being involved in charitable causes and volunteer work, setting them on the path to doing good for others throughout their lives.
As the daughter of a schoolteacher, I feel very strongly that the most important thing in school takes place right there in that classroom, and the interaction between the teacher and the child.
I'm happy to be helping people that are passionate about empowering parents for student learning.
Once the kids are in school, it's amazing what you can do.
Parents, first and foremost, it is important to... understand and recognise the activities your child is naturally gravitating towards. It's important also to ensure that your child likes what he or she is doing. I believe in exposing children to as many hobbies and extracurricular activities as possible.
There's no silver bullet when it comes to helping all children achieve. Great public schools are our best shot.
That's the beauty of education, kids taking lessons out of the classroom and back into their own world where they can positively affect their family, their friends, and their greater community.
The most important thing I think teachers can do for young people is to make them inquiring, is to ensure that they know how to gather information, that they check information and they take their information from a multiplicity of sources.
You have to give kids things they're interested in reading. That's what teachers do who are engaged in what their students want.
I love helping the kids.
