Where Parents Are Welcomed: Even where parents are welcomed as part of the school community, and perhaps work in the classrooms, it is rare to find them entrusted with anything other than strictly 'non-academic' activities. And, at the other extreme, a number of schools treat parents as though their child were simply not their concern during school hours. Parents withdraw from a situation where they can so easily feel themselves inferior partners and the myth of an exclusive teachers' expertise is perpetuated. The training and skills of teachers must not be ignored in all this, but what must be acknowledged is parents' undoubted ability to help their children to learn effectively.
Her book fills a long-recognized need, and will be welcomed by all people who like to keep unusual animals as pets; by parents whose offspring bring home unusual guests such as turtles, snakes, frogs, toads, or lizards and expect them to be entertained under the parental roof; and by teachers, who not only have the problem of keeping animals alive for observation in the classroom, but the further problem of answering—for pupils or parents—questions concerning the diet and health of everything from tadpoles to parakeets and hamsters. This book provides the answers.
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.
