The changes in British society in the patterns of behaviour, the varieties of culture and language, and the shifting emphasis on the roles of the sexes, have affected what is going on in schools and classrooms. At the same time, parents are now urged to take an active role in their children's schooling. Many are confused by the unfamiliarity of the current school scene, but are concerned about the literacy of children learning to read and write in a society which seems increasingly dominated by electronic media.
