    What you’re describing is just interrogation, not participation. Take them to the library, get them a library card, help them find books that might interest them. Teach them everything you know, and about how to learn, why to learn, what good it’ll all do them. That is being invested in your child’s education.

      Today, a church came to my school and took pictures of children (brandishing bibles of course.)

      If you were a parent, wouldn’t you want to hear about that?

      “Interrogation” is in the way you ask. Being invested in your child’s education should include an awareness of what is happening at school. You should be demonstrating to children that their education is important and valuable.
