| Summary: | Teachers complain about poor parenting and aggression, parents complain about feeling blamed and their lack of rights. Parent and journalist Fiona Millar explores parent-teacher relations and looks at how different schools are trying to improve them. A parent-governor herself, Fiona confronts headteachers leader David Hart who was quoted as saying, Giving parents more power is like putting alcoholics in charge of a bar. She meets staff, parents and pupils at schools which are trying to involve parents in their children's education and behaviour. The programme features Gospel Oak Primary where the Head is always available in the playground at the end of the day to talk with parents and looks at the results of this. Marlborough Family Education Centre and George Green's Secondary also have a range of approaches to involve parents that are highlighted in this episode of School Matters. |
