With over 20 years experience in urban education, we have seen how students routinely fall through the cracks when there is a communication and availability gap between schools and parents.
Students should be able to focus on the work of being a student, but they are often left feeling like they have to handle everything on their own. They don’t want to burden their parents with problems, especially if they have made questionable decisions and are facing consequences at school. So children have become the silent rope in a tug-of-war.
Children are desperate for someone to turn to for support and solutions without adding to parent’s frustration.
