With a smartphone glued to 90 percent of the parent populace’s hands, how could it be that a few schools still rely on upon old strategies, for example, sending notes home, bulletins, and messages to communicate with parents?
A recent study by Gallup discovered just 1 in 5 parents are fully connected with their child’s school, which means 80 percent of parents are either indifferent or effectively withdrawn from their children’s school.It’s clear there is a disconnect between the way instructors are conveying and the way most of the world is getting its information.
