Abstract

When parents send their children to school, some breathe a sigh of relief as they entrust their offspring to professional educators. Others, often those who have spent much time and thought selecting their child’s school in the first place, sense the start of a shifting of roles. From being their child’s only teacher they wonder what it will be like to be part of a team, mum/dad + teacher, and how this new partnership will help their loved one get on in life.
