Parents Are Potentialities: Hidden in the germ cells of the parents are potentialities that they themselves do not show. Exceptionally intelligent parents can expect their children to be more intelligent than the average, but less intelligent than themselves. Exceptionally dull parents are likely to have children less intelligent than the average, but more intelligent than themselves.
Are physical and mental traits inherited?
A problem is ordinarily defined as the kind of behavior that fails to meet a minimum standard of social acceptability. From a developmental viewpoint, a problem may be defined as an individual's failure to achieve his best potentialities—potentialities that are also important in a given society.
Teachers and mental hygienists do not agree regarding the relative seriousness of children's problems (119, 1952). In 1950, teachers still regarded problems related to honesty, sex, truancy, and classroom order much the same as teachers did in Wickman's pioneer study in 1926. And, indeed, from the standpoint of classroom management, these are serious problems.
Children learn first and foremost from their parents. In this respect all parents are teachers - and very effective teachers they are. Arguably, children learn more from their parents in the first five years of life than they do from their schools in the next ten. This book is about parents and teachers working together to help children with their learning; more specifically, it is about parents co-operating with teachers over their own children's reading. We have chosen the term PACT (Parents, Children and Teachers) to embody this concept.
