Shouldn't bringing up and educating children be a shared process between home and school? If schools don't engage with parents they disengage and become resentful. If parents don't engage with schools they feel like they're banging their heads against a brick wall. Does this do our youngsters any good? Not so much. It is upto schools to lead the way in this partnership as they are the professional base at which all your kids come together. Having a three way agreement is in no way about setting standards for parenting but a suggestion of ways in which they can provide support for each other (and support sometimes looks a bit like challenge). I find it interesting that on the one hand some of these threads go on about a waste of resources. Why don't you think about the waste of energy you've expended going on about it and how you could have used it positively to help your kids!

I can assure you Huguenot that many people put an awful lot into supporting Goodrich School. I have been absolutley amazed by the time and effort some people are willing to put into organisation, fund raising and general school support at Goodrich.


I think these people deserve, 1) the school as a whole and 2) the Head specifically to be at least as dedicated as the parents in responding to the needs of local people, with the aim of providing a school that meets their expectations on all matters of teaching and communication.

    • You keep insisting that you're "just stating facts", but so far, most of what you've shared isn't fact - it's just your personal opinion, framed with hostility.  Foxes aren't classified as "vermin" in the UK. They're wild animals protected under the Animal Welfare Act & the Wildlife & Countryside Act . & Yes, they do play a vital role in controlling rodent population. The more you double down on insults & misinformation, the more you discredit your own argument. It's possible to be fed up & still informed. Take the information provided to you & do something about it. BTW culling doesn't even work.
    • It’s hardly likely you know that for a fact Sue
    • I know an instance where the foxes quickly learned how to avoid such devices. 
    • I did read the comments above It's not moaning, it's stating facts. Tell you what,  you can come and clear up the near daily fox crap and see how you like dealing with it, no didn't think that would appeal to you.  Do they control rodents?  Foxes are vermin.  It's an emotive topic for some, I realise that, however the facts are foxes are a pest.
