Why I Am Becoming A Teacher

Discussion 11 The Fully Invested Owner 1. Describe an obstacle to positive change that you see in your school (or a school with which you are familiar). An obstacle I have witnessed in my school is the lack of parental involvement. Throughout this year, I believe the parents' investment in their children education has been disheartening. I can say in my own classroom, nearly one-third of student’s parents have no idea how they are doing in school academically. About one-sixth of student’s parents don’t
