Analogies - can you help with a few examples?

[SortCode]

Trying to get across to parents that the XXX Course comes with a pupil activity book that their child works from but some dont want it.

It's an integral part of the learning programme as it's used for continued learning at home, for parents to see progression plus other family members can join in plus, set homework from it. Schools love it as they can show Ofsted student progression in this subject.

Im trying to say - it's like swimming - a very young child wouldnt learn to begin with without some form of float etc

Just need a few more examples of other activities, any ideas welcome!

Music books to send home to children can practice in between? Most people would understand that sort of analogy.

Yes good one thank you

Work out why some don’t want it and address that? Is this a written message or a verbal message you are trying to get across?

I’m presuming it’s because they don’t want to take any responsibility for their child’s schooling because they aren’t good with learning themselves, or lack confidence in helping with schoolwork, or don’t have time as working so much these days or they have no control over little Johnny and can’t make him do anything so they’re tapping out early doors so they don’t have anything.

Whichever is bad news for little Johnny. Everyone knows you have to do homework. That’s just how it is.

Is this an optional course?
Are you wanting them to buy the activity book?

What do you mean other family members can join in? If it's homework, the child should be able to complete it independently. Are you saying it will be fun, you can make X's sibling join in for some extra homework! ? Because my DC certainly wouldn't want to join in on the siblings activity book for school.

Will the kids be unable to complete the course if they don't have the book? Or will the ones who have it do better, but the others will still pass?
