ALL schools for the children of migrant workers in Jiading District have set up "Parent Committees" since last year. The committee members show great enthusiasm in the management of schools.
The new parent committees of Qingning Primary School in Jiangqiao Town joined the management of the school actively. They asked to raise the quality of food and expand the greenery, and the school authority accepted the proposals accordingly.
To take better care of the kids, the committees have set up online discussion groups to deal with various problems the kids tend to meet. They have also organized a team to escort little children to and from school.
Communication changes the attitude of parents.
Not long ago, two students from Yuhong Primary School of Xuhang Town skipped school to play video games in an Internet bar, while their parents were too busy to take care of them. Fan Yanchun, a parents' committee member, succeeded in persuading them to spend more time on their kids, and thus helped the kids get back to their studies.
"Some parents pay little attention to their children's studies, so we have to make efforts to raise their awareness," Fan said. Every Friday, the parents' committee members would meet to exchange their kids' progress at school. In addition, the school set up a parents' hotline to bridge the communication between parents and teachers.
Parents need to improve their education level.
"Currently most parents of our school cannot have good communications with teachers due to their low education levels," said Yin Jianfeng, headmaster of Yuhong Primary.
