My daughter isn't always working as hard in school she does'nt tell me what happened during the day (lil bugger) but i don't know how to find out what shes doing, the teachers don't always tell me everything, i find out weeks later.

that's the hardest part leaving your child on her own at school and activities all day long has been a mystery to you especially how teachers treat your daughter when you're not around. worst is that if the teacher doesn't give you complete updates then there is no other way than asking your daughter. ask her about what she did and how she has been treated in school. give her the assurance first that you won't do anything wrong and guarantee her that if she tells the truth, whether a bad or good one, she will be safe or rescued.

I would see if you can have a teacher conferences every week if you need too. test your child at home. See what she knows on your own. If you think she should be reading get out a book. Start to read it and see if she can tell you a word "you dont know" . Get flash cards. You can get all kinds now a days. Sight words,math,numbers and letters. Make a game out of it and see what she knows. Good luck

Absolutely, there is a way; volunteer in the classroom. If you develop a more personal relationship with the teacher, they are more likely to call you. Keep in mind, teacher cannot advise parents of the details of their child's day. Can you imagine how much teaching time or planning time would be taken from our children if teachers had to do this for their entire class of 20+ students?

I can usually tell how hard my children are working in the class room by the quality of the work they bring home, I also find that a good place to start when asking about their day. My first question to them when we get home is "Did you do your homework.?" if the answer is yes then I want to see it so I know what is going on. I am fortunate that the teachers in my town are wonderful and work as a team to get my children educated when I have a concern I know it can usually be dealt with by an email or 2, so far only with my son as he is in K and I am concerned about his behavior.

It depends on what is your expectation on the teachers. We should not micro manage the teachers. We test out and coach our kids at home so that we know where and what level our kids are. We can't depend on teachers to teach our children on every aspect as teachers have so many students to handle.
Our school has a teacher/parent session once a year. At the same time, we can approach the teacher any time for clarification on any matters pertaining to our kids in school. You just need to open up the communication with the teachers.

Two things you can do 1 is come up with a chart or form that the teacher fills out every day saying whether or not your child brought back homework stayed on task completed class work on time and so forth i hope this will help best of luck!
