  1. I support the idea of a Code of Conduct for Parents. It’s a good way to encourage positive support and to control bad conduct.

  2. While we continue to instil a sense of student entitlement to their ‘rights’ we are not doing well on explaining that they also have responsibilities. Most students don’t realise that while they have the right to exercise their rights they are not entitled to the same level of rights as an adult.
    Parents have not been educated well enough to accept that the person teaching their child has fundamental rights as a member of society and they are not educational punching bags when dissatisfied with a system.

    I’m pleased that education review exists but I’d like to hear some ‘on the ground’ voices instead of the view points of Doctors and Professors who are researchers.

    Suggesting any type mandatory application is always fraught with opposition and disdain and nearly impossible to impose. This is not to say that it can’t work, just difficult.

    I write a blog page of my own and reading your articles at least allows me to view topics of discussion.
