What do you think of this episode? Do you have any topics you'd like me to cover?
We all want our kids to do well at school, but when they become teenagers there's a tendency for both schools and parents to ease back on communication. The schools tend to be much bigger and our teens are trying desperately to distance themselves from parental control and show that they can make their own mark. In fact, most of us don't get to meet individual teachers until parent's evening when the feedback can come as rather a shock.
So how much should we be talking with our teen's teachers, does it make much of a difference, and what's the best way of going about it?
