Support Parents Educating: In the UK, Education Otherwise was founded in 1977 to support parents educating their children at home and has seen a steady growth in membership and the number of self-help groups around the country. The development of information technology helps not only in providing children with access to new knowledge but also keeps such families in touch with each other and close to sources of support and advice.
2. Recall someone you have known well, and who did not turn out so well as you were led to expect by your observations of his parents and of him as a child. What are some of the possible reasons why this child became so different from his parents?
3. If parents are above average in some characteristics, what would you expect of their children in this respect?
4. Are all men created free and equal? Discuss.

Children do have all kinds of pressures put on them parents but in our experience, when the school and hoi work closely together, these pressures can be, relieved. But t school must get its contribution across to parents clearly, aj continue, often over a long period of time, to help tho parents who particularly need its support.
Children whose parents aren't interested Parents who genuinely aren't interested in their children education must be quite hard to find; we haven't met any ye though doubtless they must exist. Where the school takes th trouble to contact aJl its parents, the rate of take-up on th home reading schemes we have described is extremely higr. |
