A. Statistics show that a person who is educated has children who are better educated and have less developmental problems. Most likely because educated parents expect more from their children and encourage them to do good in school. They also have the capacity to help them with any academics they have. However, there are those children who do good in school and both their parents are uneducated. Sometimes it depends on the child more than anything.

Should parents be required to be involved in their child's education?
Q. I believe that parents should be required to volunteer a full day at their child's school each year, if they attend public school. Private schools do this, and its one of the reasons they are more successful. Jobs need to make exemptions for employee attendance so this could happen, but it would create more involvement for education. I also think parents should be required to meet all their child's teachers before the student is allowed to come to school. I know a lot of people will say they have work, but I'm betting accomidations could be made. Opinions?

A. Does this include the violent and abusive parents? We already force parents to send their children to school and threaten them with fines if they don't. That is difficult enough to enforce without actually making them volunteer. Forced voluntering isn't really volunteering! This proposal would have child protectuion implications. All parents would have to be police checked.

A. I think most states have truancy laws up to age 16. I don't know what question you asked previously, but it is your business - even though people don't see it that way. Not seeking an education for your child is considered neglect, and can both get the children taken into CPS custody and the parents put in jail. As a responsible adult, you are obligated to report child abuse, abandonment or neglect. BTW, Wednesday was national child abuse awareness day!

A. Hi Lori, There is a subtle difference. Whether people like it or not people (with certain exceptions e.g. police) have a legal right to take strike action providing that they adhere to notice periods etc. Therefore, the teachers have a legal right to withhold labour. As you have already mentioned it is the local education authority that employs the teachers so you would think that compensation could to be sought from them. It would be very difficult to seek redress from them because they are at least once removed from the cause. To explain, it s the child s teacher that causes the loss by not appearing at school. But the teacher is legally allowed to do so because of, let s say, a breakdown in pay talks between the government (i [cont.]

A. I am a teacher and a parent and so I can give you opinions from both perspectives. My children, ages 5 and 7, attend the public school where I teach. They attend my school only because I am confident in the quality of education that they will receive there. If we lived in a lesser school district, I would send my kids to private school so that they would get a great education. Parents send their kids to private school for a zillion different reasons, religious preference, to separate them from a particular group of friends, because the school has a program or specializes in something that the kid is interested in, smaller class size, the kid has discipline issues, etc, etc, etc. If, as my kids get older, we find that they develop… [cont.]

Why do some people feel that parents need to have a certain education to raise kids?
Q. It just upsets me when I see people who think that you have to have a college education to raise kids. I know people who don't even have a H.S. education and are some of the best parents I know.

A. You are 100% right. I never learned anything in highschool (outside of a home ec class) or college that would have made me a better parent. I have never come across anyone who says you have to be college educated to have kids, but I would take offense to it, I'm a college drop out. I do believe that for my situation, I should go back to college in order to provide the money necessary to put my kids through college some day, but that has more to do with my expectations for them in the future than my parenting skills now.
