Insensitive To Parents: They go on to stress that teachers feel unprepared for this importai aspect of their work by their initial training and consequently tend t deal with it reluctantly or avoid it altogether. As a result teachers 'ca appear patronising, didactic and insensitive to parents' own exper; ences and needs'.
In the Photogenic or Sciagraphic (Greek: skia—a shadow) process, if the paper is transparent, the first drawing may serve as an object, to produce a second drawing, in which the light and shadows would be reversed.15
Before this could be done, the negative had to be "fixed," that is rendered insensitive to the further action of light. This Talbot did by washing the paper with a strong solution of salt or with potassium iodide, a treatment that made the unaltered silver salts relatively, but not completely, insensitive to light.
Children learn first and foremost from their parents. In this respect all parents are teachers - and very effective teachers they are. Arguably, children learn more from their parents in the first five years of life than they do from their schools in the next ten. This book is about parents and teachers working together to help children with their learning; more specifically, it is about parents co-operating with teachers over their own children's reading. We have chosen the term PACT (Parents, Children and Teachers) to embody this concept. |
