Blogs Help Parents Connect with Their Kids

In Needham, Massachusetts many Parents can view blogs set up by their children's teachers and keep up with the daily school activities. The blogs help the parents open up conversations with their children at home. One of the teachers in the article states that the more the parents see and understand what the teacher is trying to do in the classroom the more support the parents will provide. This article also addresses the need for teachers and students to use caution when posting on blogs. It stresses the importance of maintaining each students privacy. Some schools censor comments and only allow members to access the blogs. The Boston Globe published this article which was written by Dominic Chavez.
