Answer 1

Parents and teachers are two of the most powerful influences on a student's educational success. We all know that good communication between student and teacher is a major factor in academic success. Effective communication contributes to the development of supportive, understanding parents. You can improve parent-teacher communication with classroom technology, whether you use email, text, or a more comprehensive classroom management system to engage with parents. Create a clear line of communication, maximize parent trust, reduce parental entitlement, and reinforce student accountability.

Parents will respect your boundaries and appreciate your professionalism. Here's to better and more efficient parent-teacher communication. Text communication with parents is made simple by various apps and platforms. Most tools allow you to send a message to a single parent or student, or to a group of parents or students. A more comprehensive approach to parent-teacher-student communication is provided by classroom management software. It combines email and text messaging, as well as digital resources, student blogs, a gradebook, and recognitions.
