[QUOTE="nlj, post: 645737, member: 17650"] Shocking What has that done to the relationship between schools and parents? Here parents are fined. The relationship between schools and parents here has deteriorated. There is no mutual respect, just a rush to apportion the blame for low levels of literacy and numeracy and other social ills. Standards of teaching are low, while schools think up more reasons to blame parents for lack of achievement. We've gone off track with this thread, but it's such an emotive subject. My children were grown up and all the school crap was behind me and then I took on a young step-daughter and now I'm going through it all again. Nothing's changed, but I'm more detached than I was. I had positive expectations and enthusiasm when my older children were in school. That just set me up for frustration and disillusionment. I'm more cynical now, more dubious about it all. If she's happy in school then fine, if she stops being happy then I would withdraw her and home educate her in a flash. What are the parents of this bullied boy doing? Are they fighting for his rights? Are they taking action against the school? [/QUOTE]
