The teacher needs to be prepared in order to prepare the students.

The teacher needs to give to the student a feeling that he or she has the power to learn in order to shape their future.

In my opinion education is influenced by three different factors: school,  family and community. All of these contribute to the environment in which the child learns.

The difference between parental involvement in schools is vast.  Sometimes parents are overly involved, and other times they are not involved nearly enough.  When they are too involved they take independence away from the student.  I think communication with the family is very important because it makes the student feel like his or her family and teacher are working together to help them succeed in school and in life.
