How can the school address the issues concerns and problems of the community?

Answer 1

Simply you must have formal communication with the head of your community. That's why we have a lot of government officials elected for them to help our problems. Both the government officials and school officials should implement an organization that will help to minimize the problem of the community. And somehow the problem is the citizen itself who is much often obstinate. They must be also punished for the unethical ways of their behavior. There should be an appropriate ordinance for us people within the community to be implemented for us to follow. We ourselves can help these problems if we are open-minded enough...we do the problems we, solve the problems, provided that we will help each other.

Answer 2

Research indicates that family involvement in schools increases student achievement (Henderson & Berla, 1994; Ballen & Moles, 1994; Epstein, 1995). The benefits of parent and family involvement include higher test scores and grades, better attendance, more completion of homework, more positive attitudes and behavior, higher graduation rates, and greater enrollment in higher education. A literature review of school-family partnerships indicates that benefits are apparent not only for younger children but all students through high school. Although parent involvement typically is strongest at the primary level, continued involvement through the middle grades and at the secondary school level is important in encouraging and guiding children's development and achievement.

When schools regard their relationship with families as a partnership in which school and home share responsibility for children's learning, the result is an increase in the levels and types of parent involvement as well as the support that families demonstrate for the school. When this partnership is extended to include the larger community, the benefits are greater yet. Perhaps most important is that when responsibility for children's learning is shared by the school, home, and community, children have more opportunities for meaningful, engaged learning. Students are able to see the connection between the curriculum in the school and the skills that are required in the real world.
