<p>Don&rsquo;t Leave It All To The Teachers: D r D E A N A</p><p>This book stems from thirty-two years in teaching. It aims to take parents into the child&rsquo;s learning environment without the stress which some parents have of schools and teachers and to show them some key aspects of schooling which can have a lasting effect on a child&rsquo;s education and life chances.&nbsp; I do not intend to lecture to parents on how they ought to bring up their children. Instead, I merely set out to provide them with some of the tools with which to enhance their children&rsquo;s success at school a kind of tool-kit. It is not meant to be a blueprint for success but an aid to success.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Here are some of the topics covered</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&bull; Preparing the child for primary secondary transfer</p><p>&bull; Going beyond the parents-evening</p><p>&bull; Schoolwork, homework and teacher expectation</p><p>&bull; Seeing the home as an extension of the school</p><p>&bull; Family values and how they influence a child&rsquo;s schooling</p><p>&bull; How to be a Positive Parental Role-model</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The book is written in a style and language and with illustrations that make it easily accessible to parents of all ethnic communities.</p><p>&lsquo;DON&rsquo;T LEAVE IT ALL TO THE TEACHER&rsquo; is a companion guide for parents, but it</p><p>is equally good for teachers in their inseparable journey in the education of children.</p><p>Dr Alleyne&rsquo;s guidance over a range of processes will help parents understand how to support their</p><p>children in their learning, but it will also help teachers in their understanding of some of the</p><p>problems faced by this group of students. I am an experienced teacher in secondary schools</p><p>in London UK. I am also a retired Head Teacher of a Secondary School, as well as a former</p><p>Chair of Governors of both a Primary and a large Secondary school. From these various</p><p>perspectives I recommend this guide as a &lsquo;must-read&rsquo; to parents and teachers.</p><p><strong>&mdash;John E. Prince (MA Econ. Of Ed.
