Which of the following statements best describes the implications for teachers of the changing American family?
◦ Because both parents work in many American families, more children are affluent, so they come to school better prepared to learn.
◦ Parents spend more time working away from home than parents have spent in the past, so teachers will need to be more flexible in reaching out to families.
◦ Parents are better informed about school activities than they have been in the past, so they tend to be more involved in school activities than they have historically.
◦ Education has become politically important, so parents tend to be more politically active in school policy than they have been historically.
