IN most Western untries schools are a really important part of the munity.

There are parents' evenings. At a parents' evening, parents go along to discuss their child's ork ith the teachers. In one-to-one talks teachers tell the parents ho the kids is doing and ask for the parents' on input (投入). If kids are not orking hard, they may find themselves told off (被批评) after a parents' evening! If a kid is trying hard, but has a problem, the parents and the teachers try to ork out a ay to help.

There are other ays in hich parents get involved (参与). Schools put on plays, at Christmas and on other festivals. Moms and dads e along to atch their kids' first steps in acting.

Schools also hold Sports Days. These are like miniature Olympic Gas. Parents go along to atch their kids peting in a number of gas - so quite a lot more fun than those in the Olympics. I rember taking part in a three-legged race (竞赛) hen I as a kid!
