Chapter 2: A Design for Improving Middle Grades Education

In the second chapter the book branches into how teachers and parents need to work together in order for the middle grades to be a positive learning environment. I don’t know how many times I have heard from my family members that are teachers about parents impacting their children’s education in a negative way. It is rare for them to have a parent that is on both the school’s side and the child’s side, working toward creating the best possible experience for the students. I feel it is priceless to have the support of the parents in shaping a learning experience that allows the students to succeed.
