One point the article made: teachers are more likely to enjoy their place of work if the parents there make sure to stay engaged in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.schoolcues.com\/blog\/5-school-events-to-increase-your-small-school-admissions-and-enrollment\/\">school events<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Do you think parents are more engaged now than they were 20 years ago?
