Opis

Published in 1993, this book explores the rights that parents have been given over their children’s schooling, how they affect traditional notions of home-school partnerships, and the effect on schools. It will appeal to those interested in home-school relations, in educational governance, and in comparing British policy in these areas with that of Europe.
