Here are some more tips parents can use – for both their students and their teachers:

1. Teach your child discernment: Are they detecting any bias in regards to certain subjects they are being taught?
2. Pray for your child’s teachers: Teaching is one of the toughest jobs. Be specific in your prayers.
3. Send your child’s teachers encouraging notes: Let them know what your child likes about their class. Let them know you’re praying for them!
4. Student-led prayer is vital: Encourage your child to actually pray during the moment of silence each day.
5. Bless other teachers: Even if you child doesn’t have a specific teacher, give them an encouraging note or word, too! A smile goes a long way.
