Try to speak before you're spoken to

Article Abstract:

UK schools have only relatively recently begun encouraging parents to become actively involved in their activities. For this reason, parents can still be wary about raising issues of concern with teachers, and teachers can still react defensively if they feel that doubts are being raised about their competence. Many parents complain about teachers in private, but discuss their worries with teachers much less frequently, as they are unwilling to gain a negative reputation for being too demanding. It is now time for the government to consider how to foster an atmosphere in which parents and teachers feel that they are working together.

It's a lonely world lost in language

Article Abstract:

Children with semantic pragmatic disorder can become very isolated from their contemporaries because of their communication problems. They often perform well in structured language tests, but have difficulties with spoken language, especially in correctly interpreting what is said to them. Many children with this disorder also have problems such as depression and anxiety. It is common for parents of such children to find it difficult to persuade local education authorities to recognize that their child has special needs.

A better class of behaviour

Article Abstract:

It is becoming increasingly common for UK primary schools to have to deal with children with serious behavioural problems. Such children demand a great deal of time and energy from teachers, and also provide a negative example for other children. Parents of other children become concerned, and this puts further pressure on the teachers. Children with behavioural problems can disrupt an entire class unless they are very closely monitored, and this requires a special support assistant.
