Keep parents informed. Weekly parent letters, invitations to school for student praise. Even if it's just for best report or best reading. Show the parents that their child is working and trying. Then explain how much better they could do with some added support at home. Send home detailed help with the homework. Some of the parents may feel intimidated. AND if they don't, do your best! Good Luck!!

Writing hand-written letters to the parents of the children appealing to them the importance of their involvement in their child's education will probably have a significant affect. I would suggest telling the parents that reading to their children or helping them with their homework 30-60 minutes a day will increase their child's drive and motivation in terms of school.
Parent-Teacher conferences may also be helpful. You can give a pamphlet full of tips and maybe find statistics that show how children whose parents were involved in their education benefited greatly in the long run.

Boo Stacy R! Parents who do not take a stake in their child's education are setting their child up for failure! Parents should be interested in what they are learning and be there to help them along the way! Be sure to keep in contact with parents via newsletters or positive phone calls or notes home so that your relationship is positive...it is much easier to deal with parents who are taking an active role and are dealt with in a positive, non-threatening way!

I would say that you must scare the parent into seeing the future for their child. Let them know that if they don't take action soon, it will lead to a terrible time in high school which will ultimately screw up the child's life when it comes to college applications and finding jobs. Some people really need a harsh dose of reality every once in a while, and giving them a glimpse of a shaky future might open their eyes...

I agree with Stacy R. The thing I would like to add is that I blame teachers more about the kids not learning. It is because of their mess ups that students are failing. Some teachers fail our kids for the long run!

Parents have enough to do without having to worry about their kids education. that's what we pay teachers for
