Parents are needed to

protect ‘educational abuses’

Parents must be involved
in their children’s schools,
not only to promote better
achievement, but also to
prevent educational abuses
from taking hold, says a new
booklet for parents prepared
by a West Vancouver group.

Saying that

only an

irresponsible society eaves _

education entirely in the
hands of educators, the
guide points to abuses which
occur when parents either
refuse to participate or are
excluded by schoo! officials.
Some .of the abuses are:
teacher union intrusion into
education policies which are
the responsibility of elected
representatives: money
diverted to adult education;
experimentation without
proper safeguards and
retention of incompetent
teachers.

The guide says another
abuse 1s the failure to teach
for competency in the three
“R's”. If students do not
know the basics and are
denied academic self-worth

they are likely to turn to
gangs and illicit activities for
social approval. The guide
says it is not true there is no
connection between juvenile
delinquency and schooling.

Parents who are involved
in the education system have
a lot to offer in keeping
schools on track. And their
own childrne benefit in
terms of higher achievement
and career development.

Parents are told how to
overcome practises that
excluded them from the
schools:

© Organize a parent
up, with or without the
principal's help.

¢ Help the school review
ns philosophy. goals and
programs.

© Work to improve
communication between the
school and the home.
