In the list I’m seeing points three and four as easy and very doable. It is something similarly practiced at my school, so I can relate to it. Having parents involved in school activities are very important. However, getting parents out to meetings are sometimes a great challenge.

Points one and two are really great points, however, having parents just drop in especially during an activity, can pose to be problematic. Firstly, it’s a distraction for my learners and some children behaviours change completely when they see their parents. Also, there is no one to supervise my children when I have to step away to speak with a parent. I would suggest an appointment schedule would be more effective, where proper planning around the parent visit can happen. I love point number two about providing breakfast for the children. However, in a private school setting, getting persons to donate food items may be a challenge. Also getting someone to cook the food may be another challenge. While the ideas are really good, some serious planning and implementing would have to take place before these things can happen. All hands need to be on deck for these changes to be effective.
