About the Book

Originally published in 1974, Parent Power was a comprehensive handbook for parents on education and schooling at the time. Clearly and concisely, it outlined the rights of parents within the education system, and set out how they might be most effectively asserted to achieve results.

Parent Power was designed as a source of ready answers to the day-to-day problems that faced all parents of schoolchildren in the 1970s.

Has a parent any say in which school his child attends? What are ‘discovery’ methods? Should a child be taught to read before beginning school? Is any teacher permitted to inflict corporal punishment? What is ‘family grouping’?

Parent Power was complied by a team of experienced teachers and educational journalists in easy-reference form, and its 140 alphabetical entries range from Day Nurseries and Playgroups to Evening Classes and Polytechnics, from Eleven-plus and C.S.E. to Examinations and Degrees, Intelligence Tests and Spelling. Where applicable, entries are supplemented with lists of useful addresses and sources of further information. Today it can be read in its historical context.

This book is a re-issue originally published in 1974. The language used is a reflection of its era and no offence is meant by the Publishers to any reader by this re-publication.
