Understanding School Priorities: Student Success vs. Individual Needs
Assessing School Success Priorities
Don't assume your school wants your child to succeed. Many schools prioritize the overall performance of a student portfolio over the needs of individual students. This approach raises concerns among parents.
Indicators of Individual Attention
- How the school tracks individual progress
- Frequency of parent-teacher communication
- Availability of support resources
Parental Advocacy
Understanding your rights as a parent can empower you to advocate for your child's needs effectively.
- Ask specific questions about your child’s academic plan.
- Request regular updates on progress and challenges.
- Engage with teachers and counselors regularly.
Being proactive can help ensure your child receives the attention and resources necessary for their success in school.
