When the bottom line really is if we're all honest childrens life chances are linked almost exclusively to how Invloved there parents are in there education and how much they value it
You can be poor
Working full time
Of speak no English
But still highly value education
Some parents simply don't give two hoots won't have a book in there home won't turn up to anything and don't support the school with there child's behaviour
Won't get there kids to school on time or even pick them up on time blame then are shocked when there children fail I am not very well educated myself my spelling is awful however I have always taken my sons education seriously and it has bore fruit my lad done very well at GCSE and is now working PT and is in collage doing a level 3 engeerining course
My sons form tutor once told me that some of the parents send there 6th former siblings in Lu of them in on parents evening 🙁 Or even worse that she had serval students who, she never meet the parents ever not in 5 years couldn't tell you what they looked like and would never ring her back if she left a message 😳
It's about time some parents were called out instead of being allowed to blame the school of the govermnet for there lack of invloment
The link between parental involvement and a child doing well is proven and well documented
