HOMEWORK THAT PARENTS HAVE

Parents need to be ready to counteract other false ideas that may be taught at school-worldly philosophies such as evolution, nationalism,or the idea that no truths are absolute. (1 Corinthians 3:19; compare Genesis 1:27; Leviticus 26:1; John 4:24; 17:17) Many sincere school officials attach undue importance to further education. While the matter of supplementary education is a personal choice, some teacher hold that it is the only route to any personal success.

If parents are to counteract wrong or distorted teachings, they have to know just what instruction their children are receiving.  ( note: there some parents that are so old school, that they don't teach their children about sex  or much of anything else dealing with the body etc.) So, parents remember  that you have homework too!  Show a genuine interest in your children's schooling. Talk with them after school. Ask what they are learning, what they like most, what they find most challenging. Look over homework assignments, notes, and test results.  Try to get to know their teachers.  Let teachers know that you appreciate their work and that you want to be of any help in any way you can.
