The Civil Right Movement brought about legislation in preventing prejudice towards people with disabilities allowing them the right to an education. Legislation made sure parents are well-informed of their rights concerning their child’s education and special instructions designed to meet their needs. The social implications of litigation on the lives of students with disabilities is giving students equality in education where teachers develop modification and accommodations to meet student’s academic and social goals. I would say thinking has changed dramatically regarding the understanding of students with disabilities. For, many people did not understand or had the true knowledge of disabilities and how to help students with disabilities.
Everything that is done at home, by the parents, can be taken to school and used to promote learning for their child. Parents could help their children succeed in school by organizing study sessions, reviewing their child’s work, and keeping them physically active. Study sessions could have a positive impact on a child. Parents could organize study sessions which would require the child to study materials twice a week at the town library. These sessions at the library would provide them with a quiet environment to learn and get a better understanding of their work.
Summary The article is about positive reinforcement and how it used in almost every aspect of life from the classroom to the work place. Often teachers and educators think that positive reinforcement is just bribery to get kids to do what they already know they are supposed to do.

Having the translators present is important because many parents are English language learners. Families that speak a language other than English may suffer from being cut “off from important information” (Mendoza, 2003, p. 1). By giving the speech with translators present, she is making sure that everyone present will be able to understand the language of the speech she is giving and receive answers to questions they ask. The handout that she gives is an important example of sensitivity as it gives the parents a hard copy of important classroom information. Having a handout with this information could be an important tool for the parents to utilize all year long.
There is a famous quote by John F. Kennedy “The goal of education is the advancement of knowledge and the dissemination of truth.” As a parent, people around us might view home schooling as better especially those that home schooled as a child growing up. Most parents’ think that having their child interact with other children is important, but that can be accomplished after school as well, by playing or engaging in recreational activities.

Sociology Assess the strengths and weaknesses of one of the following methods for investigating the role of parents in pupils achievement: Unstructured Interviews Parents have large involvement in the academic development of their children, for during the first few years, children look up to their parents for guidance and support. However this is not always the case for some families. In this essay I’m going to assess the weaknesses and strengths of unstructured interviews for investigating the role of parents in pupil’s achievement. First of all the strengths of unstructured interviews are; they are easy to operationalise simply because the interview is like a conversation with no real structure this helps the parents feel more at ease and less like they’re being interrogated, this helps give a more reliable answer which helps improve validity. Unstructured interviews give the parents more time and opportunities to develop their answer this can make the answers have more clarity and easier to summarise.
Children need to interact with other children their age for many different reasons. The parent is making the child become dependent on them. Allowing the child to experience a public school setting lets the child understand the rights and wrongs of society, and understand the concept of teambuilding. Parents believe that if they are the teacher and their home is the school; that the child is in the best and most safe environment. Trying to learn at a home setting can be comfortable but at the same time it can be a big distraction.
• Sure Start – Sure Start aims to work with parents to promote intellectual, social and physical development of babies and other young children. They do this by offering family support, health care and advice alongside play sessions for the children. • National Curriculum – This is aimed to reduce the social class differences because everyone is taught the same subjects which is perceived to give the same equal chances across the board. 3) Using materials from item A and elsewhere, assess the importance of cultural factors in causing social class differences in educational achievement. Pupils in education from a working class background (a pupil whose background includes a far more manual job) have a tendency to underachieve in education compared to pupils in education from a middle class background (one from a nonmanual background).
Often parents find themselves happily surprised at their good news and rarely seek out information that could make it so much easier on themselves and the child. All too often the mistakes made in parenting can be avoided with a little good information.

We will examine the affects of family, parenting and education on the development of child.
