Parent's participation in school activities is very important these days. Dun expect the teacher to take care of your child safety.

You still need to participate, make your presence felt and show that you mean business even though pretty useless organization.
Like visiting the form teacher on a quarterly basis. Progress report of your kid academic and koke activities (in directly the school & teacher's performance). Also please take time to go to the sports day, concert or prize giving day or etc.
