In short, the parents are part of the learning community as well, and the responsibility of the parent does not end when the child walks through the schoolroom door. The parent must support the mission of the school, and the teacher, and reinforce the lessons learned in school, academically and ethically.

Parents should strive to respect teachers, and not transgress teacher authority without talking with the teacher first. This comes as a welcome relief to any teacher with a conflict with a parent that has spilled outside the classroom. Although a parent is unlikely to be in perfect agreement with every assignment the student receives, and every grade on a child's transcript, establishing a rapport between parent and teacher is crucial to further a child's learning and for a teacher to feel supported in his or her disciplinary decisions.

It is unsafe to be in a classroom environment of fear, just as it is dangerous to be in a classroom environment riddled with disease. Teachers must educate students not to fear HIV, and to protect themselves by learning how HIV is spread, rather than to see one another as potentially tainted, and to fear bodily conflict.
