The collaboration between families and teachers can sometimes be overlooked due to school's/teacher's agenda. As we have read before, family engagement is highly important for a student's educational and personal growths. Education has a place at home, and qualities at home (such as traditions, cultures, routines, songs, clothing, etc) have a place in the classroom. This parallel should also include parent's and teacher's collective expectations and steps to best help their student to achieve. Through this team work, plus many other factors mentioned in this frame work, students are best set up for their educational and personal persuits.

Picture books have power and they give our students the lenses to view our world. Education and literature is a skill that can open doors and empower individuals to make differences. So it does matter what our students read, and what is censored and banned. This form of escapism is negatively impacting students, shielding them from what differences they can make.
