Parent- Teacher Initiatives: These classes would never have been viable, in terms of attendance or success, if they had not arisen from groups of parents themselves getting together and discussing the need for them, and how they could successfully operate. Many such parent- teacher initiativesteacher initiatives exist, and they nearly always arise from the needs of children, whose parents as a group wish to help them more.
But this report, and the fact that (as far as we can n« find) no serious initiatives have been taken in the direction of :K parent involvement by education authorities or other major il educational bodies until very recently, does tell us just how far 'official' thinking has been from the idea of encouraging parents and teachers to co-operate in helping children with their learning.
Sometimes the initiatives are quite ingenious. In one infant school, a parent who could speak no English participated by painting traditional designs on children's hands. This was a talent she had developed in her own country, and her skills stimulated much discussion between parents, children and teachers as to the origin and meaning of the designs.
