This does not mean that parents have no rights to what happens to their child while they are at school but this allows school to guide student behaviors though discipline. This idea is called in loco parentis (pg. 378). This concept was once more important in schools than it is now but it has brought forth it idea that no matter the student, disabled or not, there needs to be a certain level of responsibility put on all students for their behaviors when they are at school. This would be a great chapter of the book for parents to read because it would help them to understand why the school is doing what it is doing.
All staff working in the education setting must follow Policies and Procedures set by school in order to provide a safe and secure environment, not only for the children but for the staff working in the school also. In order to do so there are safe working practices within a school to protect pupils and adults. These practices have been put in place to help staff establish the safest possible learning and working environment. Some of the safe working practices within the school to protect pupils and adults are for example CRB checks. All staff working with children needs to have a CRB check done on them as it is to certify that the adult has not been convicted in any crime in any shape or form.
They want to create a safe and secure learning environment in order to keep the children safe from danger and make them feel as though every child matters. Confidentiality in a school setting involves: * Reassuring the students their best interest is the schools priority * Encouraging children to speak to their parents and careers * Inform the students and parents about the handling of information. * Correct procedures are followed when the child’s safety is at risk. * To ensure that confidentiality is a whole school issue and that in lessons ground rules are set for the protection of all.

The schools are generally over crowded with few good teachers. When there's a great public school there is not enough space for every child in the neighborhood. Children are stuck in low achieving schools because of how the school districts are divided. A lot of children end up in poor public schools because their parents do not possess the income that it takes to send them to a private school. Since 1971 education cost has increased from $4,300 to more than $9,000 per student.
Federal intervention has failed to improve scores in part because the top-down rules that come with aid have squelched local innovation.” This statement is utterly false. For one I don’t think that schools get nearly enough if you look at Fermi High School for instance we have nothing that is up to date including text books computers and on top of it all teachers don’t get paid nearly enough as they should what teachers do each and every day is a passion for teaching not making money. Another reason why I do not like this article is because he uses the test scores as a point to make. In reality test scores are not a way that you can describe someone there are plenty of smart people that just may do badly on tests. The people that would hate a rule change like this one would be teachers and students because many of these politicians don’t see what really is going on is public schools.
