When they are made aware of such aberrations, good teachers will recognize and repair them.  They will, at a moment’s notice, set things right with their students.       Bad teachers will refuse to acknowledge blunders and will engage in cover ups. Parents and caregivers need to be mindful that they may run into bad teachers anywhere, in any time period, who may be guilty of the same sins.       Of necessity then, in defense of their children, parents and caregivers must be the watch dogs, the whistle blowers, and the prime movers for bringing about meaningful change.       In her book, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, Amy Chua has set forth seven driving principals by which she governed her children.

Before being critical of teachers, parents must prepare their children to be ideal students when they arrive at school.  In this supplement to the larger book, I offer fundamental guidelines for parents and caregivers as they begin their childrearing years and gradually ease their children into the world of public school, always remembering that Literacy and Love Go H and in Hand.
