The definition of trust is "something entrusted to one - to be cared for in the interest of another". Parents have entrusted their most prized possession to us. We must keep and treasure this and truly educate their children for life not just for 12 years. When the parents have faith that you want the best for their child you can work out almost any problem.
Even though they love to complain, parents do trust us to do what is right for their children. We must all keep that in mind when we make decisions that impact students. When parents begin to lose faith in our ability to deal with their children, we are no longer effective.
