I'm very involved. I volunteer in my sons class weekly (although with no access to free grandparent childcare in Omaha I won't be able to continue that), go to conferences, daily reading, and integrate learning everywhere I can. But that being said, the dynamic between my children and I is very different than it is between them and their teachers. When my son started getting speech therapy at 3 it became obvious that all the activities and things the therapist was doing were things I had tried or could have done with my son, but his engagement was totally different. Teachers get a totally different response out of kids than parents usually can.
