-Greek is not a very easy language to learn.
-Kids have many activities and parents sometimes do not have the time to help them with their Greek learning experience.
Multilingualism: some of the students are learning Greek as a 3rd or 4th foreign language.
- Parents are very busy with their lives. Sometimes they do not have the time to help their kids. ]]> 2021-03-30 21:55:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jholmes20/ipxd3lwdp99kd5rc/wish/1369812887 Effie, Elaine, Pam https://padlet.com/jholmes20/ipxd3lwdp99kd5rc/wish/1369812890 1. Some parents cannot assist (language barrier etc.)
2. Greek school for some parents is a baby sitting solution
3. Some consider that they have to send the children to Greek school as they are Greek but do not want to be responsible for their progress.
4. Some parents are not given the chance from the school or teacher to be involved
5. Some parents consider other extra curriculum activities are more important to Greek School
6. Some parents are disengaged as they don't consider the Teacher has the appropriate education but they leave their children at school as they have no other options

too busy with the schedule and they use it as drop off centre

Some kids do not cooperate well with parents

parents may fear that they will teach incorrectly or guide them incorrectly

Parents may be too busy with work and other schedules ]]> 2021-03-30 21:55:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jholmes20/ipxd3lwdp99kd5rc/wish/1369812891 Chrisovalantis, Sarah, Sophia & Ageliki https://padlet.com/jholmes20/ipxd3lwdp99kd5rc/wish/1369812892 Parents may not wish to participate in their childs learning BUT there are the grandparents that pay tuition and sit down with their grandchild to teach them the Greek language.

Teacher maybe assigns A LOT of homework and parents may not understand and dont feel comfortable asking the teacher, OR maybe they do not have much time in the week to help their child.

In families there are both parents that assist their children and families that one parent that is STRONG in the Greek Language.

Parents that do not participate in their childs learning in the Greek language, theres a possibility that they do not participate in their learning in the English language. ]]> 2021-03-30 21:55:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jholmes20/ipxd3lwdp99kd5rc/wish/1369812892 Athena - Dimitris - Maria https://padlet.com/jholmes20/ipxd3lwdp99kd5rc/wish/1369812894 Parent involvement / reluctancy…

Possible reasons of parent lack of involvement: lack of interest, insufficient knowledge of the language, being busy, tired, having other priorities for their kids…

We talked about making use of: online learning throughout the week, whereas the student is enticed to visit daily and not just on the night before class and of: online parent access to follow their kid’s progress at their convenience, in the english language.
Teacher should communicate to parents the importance of learning another language, the importance of always trying to excel in everything we are involved and that it's ok if they can't help with the language personally, a genuine show of interest and asking "what did you learn?" goes a long way.
