What teachers want parents to know

Being a teacher has been very difficult. It is not easy when the parents do not even agree with what the teacher is doing. As a teacher, it is their job to teach the children and let the parents know if they see any big issues. However, this is not possible if the parents will not even listen to the teacher. Teachers really need parents to start agreeing with their teaching styles and being more supportive of the advice they are giving. The idea of "parents as partners rather than prosecutors" means that they need parents to be on their side and not against them. It makes it hard for the teachers to do their job if everything they do parents complain about. I don't believe that it is right for parents to go against teachers because it just confuses the students more. I think it would benefit the students if all teachers and parents were on the same page.
