Panel 16:
Use a variety of strategies to maintain frequent and regular contact with parents.
Of course! With the difference that in TPRS those contacts are largely positive, whereas, when I used to do the realia, activities, games, and all of the stuff described in this document, not to mention that nasty old testing, the parent contacts were largely negative. Phone calls to parents were largely about what kids were NOT doing, as opposed to now, where parent contacts are often positive – minus the exceptions that we all know about – because in general the kids feel as if they can do it. But the point is for agreement, and the record is now:
4 and 13. We’re on a roll!
