Seek To Keep In Touch With Parents—Discreetly

As reported in a previous issue of Educational Horizons we shall publish a series of articles on the revised Code of Ethics of the Prince Edward Island Teachers Federation. The first article—the Teacher—Pupil Relationship—was prepared by Miss Joan Aylward, teacher at Spring Park Elemen tary School. This week Miss Anne Walsh, teacher at Queen Square School, deals with the Teacher —Parent Relationship.

In Mr. Grindlay’s summary of the findings of the Committee ap-

pointed to review the Code of|”

Ethics, among other things, he lists the following:

1. The teacher will seek to es- tablish friendly and cooperative relationships wiith the home and

2. Provide parents with infor- mation that will serve the best interests of their children, and

3. Be discreet with informa- tion received from parents.

As a follow-up of this, I should

like to enlarge briefly on these}:

vbasie truths. SOCIAL ASPECT

A teacher in viewing a class is often prone to judge parents by the appearance of the child they send to school. In a group of twenty-five or thirty children the is naturally a wide diversity of ability, personality, parents and environment, and’ it is diff. ult for the teacher at times to see all sides of the picture. One child, let us call him Jimmie, comes to school with books in perfect condition, assignments carefully attended to, clean in person and

dress, and a general air of con-}.

fidence in his ability to cooper- ate in whatever may present it- self in the classroom program for that day. Naturally in the eyes

, of the teacher he is the child of ideal parents.

We may find the reverse of this picture in Johnnie, who ent- ers the class with no assurance of his successful participation in what may confront him during his school day. His books are sailed, dog-eared, and often missing. Although his mental ca- pacity may be normal, his home work is slovenly done, perhaps not done at all. His appearance and clothing leave much to be desired. In contrast to Jimmie’s alertness, Johnnie is tired and weary, and not terribly interest- ed. In our estimate of Johnnie and his fitness for school work, we are inclined, on the surface, to censure the parents for their apparent lack of interest in their child. :

But let us go further and look

job to help finance the upkeep of the home. The father, left with the. charge of the household, is sometimes unable to cope with the necessary family discipline, and, hence, the children, like Topsy “just grow.’ They are ei- ther out late or up late, and are unable to do satisfactory work the next day. The parents are

always obtainable. When a pupil commences to lag, contact the parents immediately, if possible; do not complain of the apathy or indifference the pupil shows towards work, but, rather show- ing a desfre to help, point out where the pupil is not keeping in step with the rest of the class. Perhaps, after a conference with the parents, you will find that his falling behind is due to some physical cause —poor eyé- sight, low blood count, difficul- ty in hearing—which is found in six per cent of the children—not enough sleep, or perhaps the work has got ahead of him, due

to something he not understand

Do not wait to contact the-par- ent until the child is so hopelessly behind that he is unable to carry on in that grade. Rather keep in close contact with the well worth the time expended. Early in the year, if you find pupil altogether unfit to in his particular grade, notify parents at once. Most approached with a your part to help, are reasonab- le, and will agree to his being transferred to a lower grade, or arrange to have outside tutor- ing, in an effort to iron out the pupil’s difficulties. ~e Lastly, the confidence parent or pupil places in a teacher, should be zealously guarded. It is inadvisable to discuss with the parents the i or

a pupil should naturally place in his teacher or parent, as to know he is being discussed adversely; or to have his misdemeanors ex- ploited. Rather, let us try, by combined effort to work togeth- er, keeping in mind, at all times, that the ultimate goal.is the wel- fare of our pupils, and thus estab- lish an harmonious teacher-par-
