Frank Furedi on authority in schools - Life Matters - 2 August 2010

Frank Furedi on authority in schools - Life Matters - 2 August 2010

Welcome!

Welcome to Parent Teacher Knight! 
The broad aim of this blog is to help teachers and parents better understand each other and to facilitate better home/school relations.  I really hope that you will take the opportunity to participate in discussions, and share ideas and strategies with other parents and teachers on this site.

This blog will feature links to useful sites, reviews of new and old parenting books, and other helpful resources.

To kick us off, I am posting a link to an interview with Frank Furedi, a British sociologist.  He has some interesting points to make about about how parents and teachers should work together to take a leading role in educating and mentoring children.  He is supportive of both parents and teachers, which seems like a good place to start!
