This month's blog is
Dialog Between Teacher And Parents: That's What Children Need
.
Parents should pose as role models and teach their children good behavior, while teachers should point out the values and educate them. But, does it end here?
The debate over which responsibilities belong to the teacher and
which to the parents is one of the biggest when it comes to child
development, and there actually isn't a certain barrier between the
two. The fact is as follows - both teachers and parents must
acknowledge what children need, and be involved in their development.
Guest blogger Julie Petersen is a writer and an editor. She runs
her own blog, AskPetersen.com, where she tries to help students to
improve their writing skills.
