Parent’s lack of involvement at St. Joseph of the Holy Family Example: expecting homework to be totally and completely done in after school. Projects are too much, to ask of them. “I did not have time to get it.” Spelling words and multiplication tables are also to be memorized at home. “We did not have time to go over it.” |
