Meeting-point For Teacher: So reading is a common meeting-point for teachers, parents and children - all have it as a major concern and each can readily understand the concern of the others. Moreover, it is in this area that we have the backing of research findings to show that a partnership between parent and teacher really will give results.
Eleanor had visited her class on three occasions during the Summer term. She had met her teacher, NNEB nursery nurse, other members of her class and had explored her classroom. The teacher had noted that Eleanor played alongside other children, that she had a good concentration span, enjoyed stories and had a good singing voice. Preschool records were with the parents and to be handed over at the beginning of the Autumn term. Eleanor and her parents had a meeting with the teacher in the week before she started school. During this meeting Eleanor was able to confidently talk about the pictures she had drawn and the picture sequencing she had done.
As the weeks went by die gradual lessening of tension in home-school relationships was easily felt about the school. The awful nerve-wracking ordeal, particularly for a young, inexperienced and often very tired teacher, of the first open evening of the year, meeting thirty, maybe forty or fifty parents - mostly for the first time - and trying to guess at and satisfy all their anxieties and often unknown attitudes about the teacher's work widi their child, all in the space of two or three hours after a long day's work, has always seemed to me some sort of refined masochism. Yet we go on doing it.
