...I guess it's a bland thing to say and obviously a deeper discussion...but part of it is funding really and wheher a school is given sufficient funding for individual pupil needs/one to one etc..there is obviously some but always, always needing more but it can only happen with the funding for it and it's something that many heads are constantly 'fighting' for...also, it's parents working with schools and knowing schools are very always 'in their child's interest' and that often doesn't happen but some parents don't take on any responsibility themselves for any behavioural issues in schools, when often behavioural issues or lack of concentration etc are things that are 'brought into the school' from the start of the day..it's always, always a 'joint partnership' between family and school and that's the only way that success will happen more...
