Roles of Parents in a Child's Education - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Teaching Ideas
Education starts at home. A child does not start and stop learning in school. They will always learn whether it is at home, in school, with friends or even other influences such as the internet. Therefore, a child's very first teacher or role model is their parents. Parent's engagement in a child's learning process is very crucial in shaping their character. Parents should not only rely on the child's school in education. Having both the parents and school teachers working hand in hand is one of the best combinations in getting the child to be interested in learning and to become a better person in the future.

To begin with, our experiences both as students and teachers everywhere have shown that many teachers at all levels of the educational system take evaluation and testing for granted and therefore tend to be very casual in their attitudes in setting and marking examinations.
