Assist all families in creating conditions at home that will support kids' achievement in school.

Type 1: Parenting MST interview questions

Question: Do you think that parents provide a safe environment at home which supports their children’s learning? If yes, how? I believe that every family is different in this regard. Most parents support their children's learning at home by working with them outside of school hours and also using extracurricular activities that the teacher will give for the pupils. Some parents provide a highly safe environment.

Question: Do you feel that your students have a healthy lifestyle and good nutrition? again, it depends from family to family. Most children pack healthy lunches that are always tidy and clean, but you do have a few pupils who, regrettably, don't appear to receive much attention at home.

It will support the pattern of working in school, family, and the community to understand, the development of children, motivation and builds a positive respectful relationship among the student , teachers and parents therefore the model should implement in every school and specialty for training the students
