Lisa Roberson, a retired teacher, is drawing attention for a candid letter addressing parental responsibility in the public school system. Roberson highlights how parents’ lack of involvement contributes to educational challenges, emphasizing the need to teach manners, respect, and responsibility at home.
She criticizes parents for failing to provide basic school supplies and being disengaged from school activities, forcing teachers to spend personal funds to support students. Roberson urges parents to attend school events, communicate with teachers, and ensure homework completion.
While some view her letter as harsh, it underscores the shared responsibility between educators and parents for a child’s success.
