You have very eloq...I whole heartedly agree Leonie. You have very eloquently expressed exactly what I was hoping to portray. Education is a partnership between parents and teachers and we all must respect each others point of view.

And I don't mind at all in being the impetus for a post x<br /><br />I would add that as my children move through school and as they grow, I find I trust more, I question less and I let them experience what is on offer, the highs and the lows, the challenges and all.<br /><br />However it is also a parent's responsibility to be aware of what is happening in the classroom and to reflect and question when they are not sure what is happening. It's about being an active partner and communicating between home and school. If parents always sit on their hands, and always assume that the teacher or school knows best then there will occasionally be some issues.<br /><br />And if the parent always says nothing then the teacher misses the opportunity to learn a bit more about the family values and experiences that shape the child in front of them.Leonie Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05138813511758967759noreply@blogger.com
