Attention to cooperation under the teacher’s work arrangement: Parents need to cooperate with teachers to solve children’s problems. The homeroom teacher is the person who closely follows the children’s learning, so they will understand the specific situation and know the scientific education methods. Moreover, the teachers have pedagogical expertise, so the work arrangement will be highly effective. Therefore, parents should listen and cooperate with teachers to help their children develop the best.
