If the parents and Teachers have a dialogue regarding the shildren's studies, activities and interaction in the group, then our children would grow well. Most teachers are committed teachers. They do love the the children as their own and they do inform about the children with the parents.
Today they say the teachers are the first mother to the children. This is due to the reason that the parents go to work and often they return home late due to overtime work or due to the road traffic. The children have long hours of schooling and they they rush up to the tution centres. When they return back they are exhausted. Often they may fall asleep without having supper. And thus continues the routine.
In certain areas the children are called to go to the tution centres on holidays, on sundays. So practically the children have no rest no relaxation and no time to enjoy the company of the parents. They too at their very tender age may get burn out of their energy. Many demand more from the children because it is time that they work hard.
So practically the children look at their teachers for some affection, and a loving interaction. Today teachers are called to be the guiding companions rather than represent somebody above. Many children get deeply attached to their teachers and feel that confidence to speak out. It is beautiful when the children receive birthday greetings from the class teacher and the companions. It is beautiful when the teachers have been invited for the birthday celebration.
The student will ever bear the figure of the teachers in their heart and they do remember the advice received from them
So the parents need to collaborate with the teachers. With their mutual collaboration the child can formulate sound values.

Well, I think that parents and teachers should have interaction with each other, but my advice to parents: if the teacher says that your child is not behaving well, then please take their advice because your child probably isn't behaving well. Your child is probably doing something that they shouldn't, and before it gets out of hand, and they grow up to be like Casey Anthony (young mother in Florida who was accused of killing her daughter and showing no remorse for it), teach them what is good behavior and what isn't in school. Don't let them get away with bad behavior because they will think that that bad behavior is okay.
On to teachers: If you have a student who looks like that are in some kind of distress, then help them! They might be having problems at home and need someone to advocate for them. Another thing is don't be like Professor Snape in "Harry Potter". This is a poor example of what teachers and professors should be. Be more like Professor McGonagall from "Harry Potter", stern, but caring, and she always advocates for her students no matter what. Yes, students remember the really good teachers and the really bad ones.

Yes the parents should speak out loudly what is your experience regarding the teachers and the teaching. As well as the behavior of the students towards their parents and the elders as well as towards the teachers. Today all of us argue philosophically. But we do not speak where we have to speak. If we have parents teachers meeting, if we have class leaders meeting we can organise the school not only to impart instruction but a help to form personality worthy of the real humane nature.

Well, I actually did some student teaching, and I can say that the parents can be as hard to handle, or harder to handle, than the children. Sometimes, parents know how their children are and how they can be, and they are not in denial of how they are, and I like that, but then there are times where the parents will say things, and I can't stand this, trust me on this, no teacher can: "Oh, well, my child would never do such a thing!" Teachers hate hearing that from parents. If you child did something, then accept that they did it and deal with it.
I have also worked with teachers who can be the worst of the worst. They can be very vindictive, and they will have it out for certain students, or they hate children, but they became teachers for the paycheck. Never get into teaching because you want a paycheck. That is worst thing that you could do to your students. If you cannot be a teacher, then don't be one. Leave the profession, go back to college, and train for something else. Not all people are cut out for teaching.

There must be a big difference at schools you are talking about and at the schools we have over here. Teachers are surely not the first mothers. Many over here are not even graduated (still students) plus no parent will take a teacher seriously who has no kids of her own.
The teachers are not committed at all, not interested, not surpervising and they surely don't love the kids. Being a teacher is just a job. The newest generation of teachers is even educated very badly. They can hardly count or spell!
A birthday greeting the kids never get from the teacher and it's also not common to invite a teacher on your birthday party. If you would do so, they surely won't come. On the other hand the kids have to give presents to the teacher on her birthday. Which bothers my 6 years old daughter who is smarter as the teacher. Her remark two mornings ago: at the beginning they had rules at this school but now nobody is keeping them so I don't feel the need to keep them either. I don't think you will find many people over here with a good memory of their teacher, which is a pity since children spend a lot of time each day again at school.

I sincerely appriciate what you have expressed. This peace of your remark should be read out in training schools as well as to those who seek for a teaching career. If our youth are today what they are, it is due to the interaction of parents and teachers. If we consider our life worthy of commitment then it is alright we have to survive but not at the cost of jeopardising the blooming life of a budding child. After all the teachers are paid at the cost of heavy sacrifice from the parents. The management of the school should consider the goal and the valued of education.

That is really a good idea to make our parents interacting with the teachers. We can get to know about our children what they like and dislike etc.
