The parent must support the mission of the school, and the teacher, and reinforce the lessons learned in school, academically and ethically.
Parents should strive to respect teachers, and not transgress teacher authority without talking with the teacher first. This comes as a welcome relief to any teacher with a conflict with a parent that has spilled outside the classroom. Although a parent is unlikely to be in perfect agreement with every assignment the student receives, and every grade on a child's transcript, establishing a rapport between parent and teacher is crucial to further a child's learning and for a teacher to feel supported in his or her disciplinary decisions.

Schools Enrolling Students with AIDS." (2003). ACIS. Retrieved 31 Jan 2007 at http://www.acsi.org/webfiles/webitems/attachments/000990_%201a.%20Schools%20Enrolling%20Children%20with%20AIDS.doc
Despite the spirit of Christian tolerance ostensibly embraced by the ASCI, the article entitled "Schools Enrolling Students with AIDS" takes a shrill and alarmist tone regarding the subject of young children infected with HIV. It informs the reader that in more than half of the cases in Massachusetts, infected children were not aware of their HIV status, nor were the schools...
The fact that less than half of these HIV positive students missed more than two weeks of school is not portrayed as the children's ability overcome tremendous health obstacles, but as evidence that HIV infection is not obvious, and therefore, even more insidiously dangerous to the uninfected.
On one hand, the recommendation of the article that teachers and students obey OSHA regulations regarding the safe handling of blood and bodily fluids is wise. On the other hand hysterical tone that HIV infection is potentially everywhere, and that teachers and students act, out of precaution, as if all spilled blood is potentially tainted with HIV seems more prone to create hysteria than a safer environment in the classroom.
It is unsafe to be in a classroom environment of fear, just as it is dangerous to be in a classroom environment riddled with disease. Teachers must educate students not to fear HIV, and to protect themselves by learning how HIV is spread, rather than to see one another as potentially tainted, and to fear bodily conflict. It is far more likely that a student catch the common cold from the bodily fluids of another student than HIV. And catching the cold is a far more realistic health preoccupation for most teachers and students on a daily basis.
In suburban areas, on the other hand, the economic opportunities are diverse and the population is less dense. Here parents are motivated to educate their child and the child gets higher individual attention from the teachers than those in the urban areas where population density is very high (Broomhall and Johnson, 1994; and Hanson and Ginsburg, 1988). Since educational aspirations of parents, students and teachers differ by population density
Most states have provisions somewhat similar to that of the NCLB, where funding to districts and specific institutions is specifically allocated and comes with certain requirements (Galvin & Robins 2000; U.S. DOE 2009). Advantages of receiving funding at the state level are increased localization and attention to differences in districts (U.S. DOE 2009). Disadvantages, however, are that the state is subject to even more extreme budgetary and taxation fluctuations,
LCFF Position Statement School funding structure and allocation is something that is very controversial. It summons discussions and specters of class warfare, the haves vs. The have-not's equity in opportunity, equity in outcomes and many other hot-button topics in the political, cultural and public lexicons. The current school funding structure in the state of California is to be jettisoned in favor of the new Local Control Funding Formula, whereby funding for
Special Education Given the diverse needs and universal education needs of students with exceptionalities, what is one of the most significant fiduciary responsibilities of the school leader? Why are these significant? It is important to note, from the onset, that the school leader oversees not only student placement, but also staff assignment and management of the education al programs of schools. In general, school leaders in a special education setting have a
Abstract This paper compares and contrasts the school funding approaches of the state of Illinois and the District of Columbia. It shows that in Illinois there is a far greater problem of how to achieve a more equitable distribution of funds, though the state is currently setting a course to try to make this happen with its evidence-based model funding formula recently passed this year. In DC on the other hand,
The trial lasted seven months and Justice Leland Degrasse rendered his decision, 719 N.Y.S.2d 475 on January 10, 2001, in favor of plaintiffs and ordered the state to ensure that all public schools provide the opportunity for a sound basic education to their students." (Hunter, 2004) Entered, as part of this decision was a "costing-out study as the threshold task in developing a new school funding system." (Hunter, 2004)
