13. SUCCESS QUOTES FROM FMS PARENTS “I think Facebook should be used more for both me and my child. For me, as a parent, to see what work needs to be completed at home. For my child, so she can make sure they have the correct assignments.” “Facebook is very helpful. I am able to stay informed on what is going on in the classroom. The links regarding homework have been helpful to my daughter and I when there are things she isn’t sure how to do.” “My favorite part is knowing ahead of time before my daughter even gets picked up from school about homework, forms, and upcoming events.” “Facebook is the best tool for communication that I have been able to use with my children and their teachers. It helps that it is updated on a regular basis, as opposed to a webpage that you might only see updated/view weekly or monthly.”
