dogs4life Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 I agree that some haven't had good role models, the problem I see though is from parents who are too interested in their careers and hobbies to have time to be parents, they work not just out of necessity but because they love the job and the lifestyle. I have no problem in that but they do need to make time for their children. I have looked after a three year old whose parents have completely forgotten to pick him up on more than one occasion.

Oh dear. That is bad:o

Goon Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 So schools have no responsibility at all then? Of course schools should shoulder some responsibility and exclusion has to be used as a last resort. There is a procedure in process and all exclusions are scrutinised to make sure the school did everything they could before going to such measures. Believe it or not, schools do not like having to exclude students. Ultimately, if one students behaviour is having a detrimental effect on a class of twenty five students then the removal of that student is sometimes the only viable option.
Aries22 Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 By the time a child is 4 years old, its too late to get them to behave in school. Nursery school should be compulsary from the age of 2 then there is a chance to sort out problems before they get to 4, usually by then its too late.

Home parenting until the child is 4 should be compulsory. It's the parents who should correct behaviour not schools, but how is it possible when they return to work after 6 months?

A good parent is a good parent, regardless of whether they work or not, and staying at home doesn't automatically confer 'good parenting' status.

Being at home with your child doesn't mean you are a good parent at all. But then again i never said that did i? It does however mean that you may have more interaction with a child than a total stranger who care's little about your child. Parents should teach right and wrong not the education system. It's surprising the uproar(as i'm sure you're aware) caused by excluding a child when it impacts on work rota's and schedules.

No, you didn't. What you said was that home schooling up until four should be compulsory and I pointed out that as a measure to improve children's behaviour, it doesn't make sense. It does however mean that you may have more interaction with a child than a total stranger who care's little about your child. A good parent doesn't leave their kids with a 'total stranger who cares little about their child'. They leave them with someone well-qualified to do the job of looking after children, in whatever form that may be (nursery, childminders, kindergarten, etc), don't they? Parents should teach right and wrong not the education system. It's surprising the uproar(as i'm sure you're aware) caused by excluding a child when it impacts on work rota's and schedules. I don't disagree. But compulsary home schooling isn't the answer.
