The Importance of Building a Strong Parent Educator Partnership (cont.) Although it may seem like children spend most of their time at school, it's estimated that 70% of their waking hours (including weekends and holidays) are spent outside of school (Michigan Department of Education, 2001). This means that even if a teacher is competent, creative, and able to reach every student during the school day, there are many more hours of the day that are spent mainly in the student's home. Therefore, a strong home-school connection is crucial to the success of the student. Aunque puede parecer que los ninos pasan lo mejor parte de su tiempo en la escuela, se estima que el 70% de sus horas de vigilia (incluyendo fines de semans y dias festivos) se gastan fuera de la escuela (Michigan Departamento de Educacion 2001). Esto significa que incluso si un maestro es competente, creativo y capaz de llegar a todos los estudiantes durante el dia escolar, hay muchas mas horas del dia en que se gastan principalmente en la ca del estudiante. Por lo tanto es crucial para el exito del estudiante una fuerte conexion de hogar y la escuela.
