Talk To Parents: The prospect of a large meeting can in any case be rather daunting for some parents, who would prefer the chance to talk to parents informally with their child's teachers. But they would like such a talk to parents to be by invitation, so that there is no danger of their being construed as 'pushing' - a very common fear among parents. The timing of meetings and appointments to suit the school can also be a problem for working parents and those looking after small children.
Yet if we look back at the typical remarks we quoted, what stands out is that there is little or no actual hostility in them, or for that matter indifference; and in fact we know from our own experience that underlying the anxieties and misunderstandings there is a great deal of potential goodwill on both sides. Given time to talk to parents, in the right setting, parents and teachers can usually find a way to break down the barriers between them, through their common interest in individual children. Unfortunately, though, time to talk to parents with parents does not figure noticeably in the timetables of many schools.
Running the school lending library - three parents currently organize and look after this. They now have a 'budget' and, in consultation with children, parents and staff, order books to supplement and replace stock.
Mother-tongue work - the bilingual parents have organized themselves to come in to read, tell stories and talk to parents to and listen to children who speak their language.
