Originally published in 1983, this book offers a perspective on the secondary school years from the standpoint at home. In the early 1980s as now, there was no shortage of advice to parents on how they should bring up their children, and what their relationship should be with the schools their children attended. More rarely heard was the parent’s voice of experience on the stages of family life and how the children’s school life is seen from the family point of view. The purpose of this book was to urge reconsideration of taken-for-granted assumptions about the appropriate relationship between home and secondary school. It can be read today in its historical context.
