   1. Parents were more keen to learn more about their children's progress than simply signing a book and paper and attending a parent's meeting.

* Some children have single parents who struggle to keep track of their students in addition to other responsibilities. Teachers should pay more attention to those kids and provide the best guidance possible for them.

* A few parents spoke about the difficulties they experienced as a result of their socio-economic status as a single parent. Example 1; Kavya(name changed) has a single parent because her father died when she was 3 years old and no other siblings. Mother works as a maid in 2–4 homes. She is influenced by her aunt in extracurricular activities and used her service to help with household chores like carrying water from outside and washing dishes, but she is unwilling to assist her mother and has no interest in reading or writing. The mother finds it difficult to provide her daughter with the necessities, such as clothing, school supplies, and occasionally food. Example 2; Abhi(name changed) is a single parent who lost his father in 2022. He has three siblings, a 19-year-old boy who has stopped attending school and is instead just hanging out with friends, a 14-year-old sister who quit school when she was in high school, and a 6-year-old little sister who attends Anganavadi. He is also not interested in going to school, and for the past few months, someone has had to convince him into attending classes. Even though he went to school, he frequently leaves because he gets bored. His mother asked him to attend school and learn something because she was upset with his behaviour. She is unwilling to go to work to earn money if he does not engage in school.     

 

* One parent mentioned how their child enjoys going to school and how the school environment affects her social skills. As an illustration, the child's father noted that while she is very quiet at home, she will get along with everyone in school. They meant that she wouldn't argue with her friends or complain at home.    

   3. A few parents spoke about the difficulties they experienced as a result of their socio - economic status as a single parent.

* Two parents compare the kids' educational levels with those of their siblings. Example; "Her sister was fully engaged in reading and learning activities at home, but she was a little lazy and using her phone during that time," one of the child's fathers mentioned.

* One of the parents works as the kitchen helper at the same school where she is also the president of the SDMC forum. She talked the SDMC forum, mentioning that there was no SDMC meeting after Covid and that members weren't present for the scheduled meeting. The forum does not have coordination.

 

* Parents agreed to take time off from work and attend the meeting after knowing that the parents' meeting was more important than their job following our interaction.
