Parents in Bangladesh are often unaware of their children’s out-of-class activities that are harmful for the environment as well as their school’s reputation as a whole. Students sometimes end up getting involved with politics, or the local offshoots of political parties. Some even get involved in crimes. One may recall the disturbing reports that emerged in recent months highlighting how many school-age children and students got caught up in the web of teen gangs. 

Although parents generally do the best they can for the betterment of their children, it’s important that they are aware of the many social and non-academic influences they get exposed to as they grow up. This is why there should be regular parent-teacher meetings. It will help remedy such behavioural issues.
