What teachers want parents to know

I as an intern think it is very important for parents to understand that as teachers we are with their kids a lot of the time and spend multiple hours with their children and can see habits, good or bad, that their child are picking up habits. So, I as a teacher want to be able to help correct those habits, not to insult the parents but to do what's best for their child. Also parents need to understand that when kids get a bad grade it is what they deserve not what I just give them.

I think that parents as partners rather than prosecutors is along the same lines as what I just went over. Parents automatically assume that their child is the angel and the teacher obviously is doing something wrong but if parents got it through their head that's not the case then parents and teachers could work together to make their child that much more successful.
