Life - Learning - Education
"Schools separate learning from life.
While doing this, they assume that what children do at school is more important than what they do at home, and that school activities have their right to invade home life.
The same is not true in reverse.
Parents are not able to direct activities for children to complete at school, or free to take their child out in term time.
Parents may spend more time with their children than teachers, but it's the teacher who tells the parents how the children are doing on "Parent's Evening".
