Parents Bring: 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 a structured programme to help children who had reading difficulties.
Not only will parents bring varying skills and experiences into school but will also have different goals for and expectations of their chil¬dren and of themselves. Often the expectations of the teacher or school can be at odds with those of the parents. As teachers, we are sometimes faced with parents whose values or educational or pro¬fessional achievements are removed from our own. One of the most undermining experiences we can have is when a parent's expectations of his or her offspring are vastly disparate from our own.See Also Both Parents Incu¬bate:The tan, brown, or green eggs, usually 2 or 3, are spotted and blotched with black. If the eggs are removed, some females will continue laying as many as 15 eggs. Both parents incu¬bate the eggs for at least 20 days.
Both parents also care for the downy tan chicks. The chicks are able to walk very soon after hatching but stay near the nest for at least a month until they are almost ready to fly. While near the nest, they are fed by both parents. The mortality rate for young gulls is high. One spe¬cies, the swallow-tailed gull (L. furcatus) found in the Galapagos Islands, feeds its young at night, perhaps to escape piracy by predatory frigate-birds.
Since the sex of snakes is much less obvious in some species than in others, it is not always easy to determine this feature. In a male snake the tail tends to be a smooth continuation of the body, while in the female the tail tends to be narrower than the body. In other words, the tails of males are longer and thicker while with females there tends to be a constriction where the tail begins.
Snakes, like lizards, are oviparous, ovoviviparous, or viviparous.
Oviparous snakes lay eggs which are deposited in some secluded spot where conditions of heat and moisture are just right to incu¬bate the eggs.
On The Other Hand See Once Parents And Teachers: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 conce parents and teacherspt.
Most schools launch their schemes by choosing the simplest way of getting a large number of parents together, which is to invite them to a special meeting for the purpose (see chapter 4, page 40). We know that big meetings between parents and teachers are often unsatisfactory affairs; teachers may be frus¬trated because so few parents turn up, or parents disappointed because the meeting does not deal with the issues they really want to know about. But where the theme is children's learning, and especially where parents know that they are being asked to help with it, there is usually a dramatic increase in attendance and in the degree of participation and enthusiasm during the meeting. Teachers often note with pleasure that the proportion of fathers in the audience is also much higher than usual. |
