Janet Hale on 25 Apr 10"Summary The family's role is increasingly acknowledged as critical for children's learning both in and out of school, giving rise to requirements for secondary schools to report to parents online by 2010, and the Children's Plan identifying 'parental engagement' as a high priority for 2009. However, little is known about the learner's role in mediating relationships between parents and teachers, and between home and school. Young people may actively facilitate or resist their parents' involvement with their education, and without recognising their active role, strategies that aim to enhance communication between home and school may become a missed opportunity that makes little difference to children's learning."
