Chapter 3: Families and Communities

Resolved: Partnerships between teachers and families can improve the learning of students.

 The statement is absolutely true, in the Joy of Teaching a boy named Marcus has two parents that are woman, while the teachers at his elementary school don't approve of same sex relationships, they punish Marcus for something that he has no control over. When teachers and parents are able to cooperate a students learning is increased as if the parent is on board then homework will be done at home instead of being incomplete. If parents lack to reinforce what the teachers do at school, wouldn't that be a little hypocritical? They expect us to teach them everything, yet wont reinforce it home to make sure the knowledge is acquired.
