I myself have lost one such brother. My parents assumed that he went to school. However, I later found that he did not attend school at all. He obviously failed the entrance exam. This shows that it is very important to stay in touch with teachers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cdn-images-1.medium.com\/max\/800\/1%2AIYhMbyf1e8dw7PdHfNvnlA.jpeg?resize=640%2C427&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:840px;height:560px\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by THIS IS ZUN: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/people-sitting-on-green-lawn-grass-while-doing-hands-up-at-daytime-1164572\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/people-sitting-on-green-lawn-grass-while-doing-hands-up-at-daytime-1164572\/<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You must have heard that if a child\u2019s education is likened to a building, the child, the teacher, and the parents become its pillars. If even one of the three pillars falls, this building will not be able to stand. For example, if a child is not active in his studies but the teachers and parents want him to study, it is inevitable that he will not be able to succeed. Similarly, if the teachers want to teach and the child is also studying but the parents are not interested, then the process of education will be hindered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have researched the relationship between children, parents, and teachers in terms of recent technologies. In this, teachers, parents, and heads of the institution are connected through WhatsApp groups and exchange information with each other to keep the children engaged with their studies.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><iframe title=\"I Wish Every Parent Knew This\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/videoseries?list=PLvgnnewY46IbfR56-iAUa9aP5KLiuUw8J\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pursuing this idea, I formed WhatsApp groups in my institution. Efforts were made to include as many parents as possible in these groups. Absentee lists and homework assignments were shared among these groups on a daily basis to keep parents informed and equally involved in their children\u2019s education. Phone calls were made to the parents of any child who was absent to keep them informed. At the end of the month, a parent-teacher meeting was held in which detailed printed reports of the children were given to the parents. Through this effort, parents who were interested in their children\u2019s education joined the school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since it was a village school, the parents often had to leave the village for work and some of the students\u2019 parents were out of the country. Because of this, communication between the parents and the institution was neglected and the children were becoming disconnected. After forming a WhatsApp group, all those parents who could not come to school due to their constraints were given the opportunity to stay in touch with the teachers and head of the institution and started receiving all kinds of information about their children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized is-style-rounded\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cdn-images-1.medium.com\/max\/800\/1%2AEP0BobVHjUlXDftN1_4sNg.jpeg?resize=640%2C336&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Teacher role in learning process\n\" style=\"width:839px;height:440px\" width=\"640\" height=\"336\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s10639-021-10619-8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Structure of communication between teachers, parents, child and head of the institution by Dr Afzal&nbsp;Badshah<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you in touch with the child\u2019s teachers and going to the school yourself to get details of the child\u2019s performance from the teachers?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/afzalbadshah.com\/index.php\/category\/parenting\/\" title=\"\">Read more about children and life skills. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The writer can be reached via <a href=\"http:\/\/afzalbadshah.medium.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Medium<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/afzalbadshahmanduri\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">YouTube<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/web.facebook.com\/abmanduri\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/author\/afzalbadshah\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amazon<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DrAFZALBADSHAH\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/afzal-badshah-phd-305b03164\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/wa.me\/923006091064?text=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WhatsApp<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.com.au\/citations?user=rBmhtFQAAAAJ&amp;hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Google Scholar<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keeping in contact with your child\u2019s teacher can help to ensure that your child is receiving the support they need, as well as staying on track with their&nbsp;studies.
