NEARLY THREE IN FOUR (73%) PARENTS SAY THEY LEARNED MORE LIFE AND SOCIAL SKILLS DURING THE EARLY YEARS OF THEIR EDUCATION VERSUS THE LATER ONES.
THAT’S ACCORDING TO A SURVEY CONDUCTED BY ONEPOLL ON BEHALF OF KIDDIE ACADEMY.
THEY ASKED 2,000 PARENTS OF SCHOOL-AGED CHILDREN (0 -18) ABOUT THEIR EARLY EDUCATORS AND EXPERIENCES.
THREE IN FOUR CREDIT THEIR FORMER TEACHERS FOR POSITIVELY INFLUENCING THEIR LIVES (76%) – BY SHOWING THEM HOW TO BE A BETTER PERSON (58%), IMPACTING THE HOBBIES THEY PICKED UP (52%) AND EVEN SERVING AS ROLE MODELS (51%).
THE SURVEY ALSO REVEALED THREE IN FOUR (73%) PARENTS ARE SATISFIED WITH THEIR KIDS’ CURRENT EDUCATION, AND FOUR IN FIVE (80%) BELIEVE TEACHERS DON’T GET ENOUGH CREDIT FOR ALL THAT THEY DO.
THE SAME NUMBER (81%) ALWAYS ENCOURAGE THEIR CHILDREN TO SHOW APPRECIATION TOWARD THEIR TEACHERS.
