I agree wholeheartedly with your statement about finding balance.

I don't disagree about parents needing to reinforce what is being learned at school. But I do think that it is sort of a Catch-22 situation. Parents who are very involved often get treated by the teachers as if there is something wrong with them or as though they can't let go of their kids or as if they are just trying to tell the teachers what to do.

Honestly, I don't know what the answer is. I know that when my kids were in school, I was of the "too involved", by their standards, type.
