Parents Can Advance: We connected widi some parents can advance well; widi most intermittendy; but widi a fair proportion never. We realized diat we were not responding sufficiendy to die real, if usually unexpressed, concern of all the parents can advance: the desire to continue to be effective in their children's intellectual development and daily learning. All the work at fairs and jumble sales did not advance diis need one iota and we had seemed, traditionally, content to leave it so.
An advance deposit equal to a one-night room charge plus tax may be accepted to guarantee a reservation. (Figure 4-6 shows an example advance deposit form.) Small properties discourage advance deposits because of the additional paperwork required. In recent years, credit card guarantees have become much more common in the United States. However, overseas, hotels often require advance payment in full to hold a reservation, regardless of the anticipated arrival time.See Also Sug¬gested To Parents That:The school first compiled an explanatory leaflet on 'How to become a school author' which, as simply as possible, sug¬gested to parents that the school wanted them to write a short account of dieir childhood daily life. The leaflet also described how the school would assist them. A group of ethnic-minority parents then received a letter inviting them to a meeting to discuss the project, and at this meeting the leaflet was shown and discussed.
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.
On The Other Hand See Effective With Parents Of Children:There was one parent who had five children whom different teachers were hoping would be heard reading! In one way or another most parents had overcome this kind of problem, but schools do need to recognize difficulties of this nature and be ready to listen and advise each family, so that reading does not become an unpleasant chore.
Despite the pressures, parents believed that the help they were giving their children was all worthwhile and effective with parents of children:
'It makes him read more; he practises by himself.'
For me, to spend a day going through each class's cards was an occasion to discover more about the children's lives, the teachers' work, the parents' care and concerns than I might otherwise leam in a whole term.
Did we achieve any particular goals? Oh yes. We grew in knowledge and awareness of parents, and gained a much higher regard for them both as parents and as effective with parents of children teachers. There was the mutual satisfaction of a job done well in which everyone played a continuing and vital role. We learned more about children's books in two or three terms than we might have done in our whole teaching career so far. And, of course, there was the sheer gratification of improved literacy levels in the school, enhancing everyone's ability to work well. |
