Teachers should visit homes to aid student development
Educational Notes argue that teacher in loco parentis requires home–school cooperation. Teachers should visit homes, and parents should visit schools, to understand a child’s environment. Home life knowledge helps form character, and more Parents' Days would invite reluctant participants and spark school problem discussions. Also reports include an accident, a reward, and a price for a gallery entry.
