How do you feel about parent involvement in education?

It is nearly a must for student success. Very few students, specifically young students, are able to succeed with out parental involvement.How do you feel about parent involvement in education?
parents should be involved to the extent of ecouraging their children and helping them to work at their education. A parent's interest is a great thing when they use it to help their child exceed but do not interfere to hinder them.How do you feel about parent involvement in education?
I do not encourage my student's parents to help with their education. I teach chemistry and AP Physics and most of their parent are clueless when it come to these subjects. I say leave teaching to the teachers. Parents should shape their child's life and manors.
It is necessary
It is vital to the success of their children and to the general success of the school. Officials don't listen to teacher's recommendations for change or improvement, but they will listen to parents. Parents can also put (appropriate) pressure on their kids to do well in school
If as many parents were positivly involved with classroom learning as are involved in band/sports/etc then the world would be a much better place.
It just works. Both are educators and they should work together.
there needs to be more of it...enough said
personally i think parental involvement is a pain. it makes you less self reliant when your parents insist on interfering. and i know teachers hate dealing with parents all the time. its great when your parent cares, but getting too much involved is flat out annoying
