A Wise Parent’s Resolves About Her School

1. I resolve to see only the good points in my child’s teacher and to speak about them to her and others.
2. I resolve not to criticise the teacher in the presence of my children or others.
3. I resolve to think always that the teacher is trying to do her best.
4. I resolve to make home conditions as favorable as possible for the physical, mental, moral well-being of my children.
5. I resolve to visit the school as often as possible, that the teacher may be assured of my interest in her and in the well-being of the pupils.
6. I resolve that if I feel positive that the teacher is using unwise methods with my children, I will have a friendly talk with her about the matter before referring it to the higher authority.
7. I resolve to find out what my boy’s associations are: whether or not they are helpful, whether he is smoking cigarettes or using tobacco in any form.
8. I resolve to make gently enforcement of obedience to wise rules a vital principal in order that the home and school may work in harmony.
