Part Of Parents Should: We believe that there is a central need to tackle parents' fears and to demonstrate to them the importance of the part of parents should they could and should be playing: it is in the hands of teachers to do this. Where teachers approach parents believing that children's learning will actually improve if their parents help them, and believing also that parents are keen to give this help, they find them ready and willing to co-operate. Teacher attitudes toward parent involvement are already changing fast and many schools have proved themselves able to cope with the problems of time and organization necessary for such involvement.
There are other possible focuses which can be used to bring parents and teachers together in secondary schools. Discussion groups held for parents can explore the actual subjects taught, as well as more general matters, and sometimes parents can be involved directly in their children's homework. Ebbutt and Barber,30 for example, asked parents to help their first-year children with passages for comprehension covering a range of school subjects, which formed part of parents should of a structured programme to help children who had reading difficulties.
It looks as though a considerable effort on the part of parents should of teachers is called for, to help parents overcome these feelings of mistrust and diffidence. But even the best-intentioned efforts teachers make to meet parents too often fall through. There seem to be several reasons for this. For one thing, meetings held for parents are often run as social events, sometimes with an aim such as fund-raising, sometimes a concert or Christmas play.
