Is The Teaching Profession so Black & White?
Parent Classes [2-2]
Parent Classes.......
Parents will be able to use the vouchers to buy lessons from independent organisations such as the National Childcare Trust. Currently the courts can impose such classes on the parents of unruly children, but ministers hope that the involvement of Boots will persuade families to see them as normal as ante-natal classes.
The scheme was defended by Conservative Party co-chairman Baroness Warsi, who said all parents could be helped at times.
"The one thing I hugely valued before I had my daughter were the classes which tell you what happens when a baby comes home, how to tie nappies, how to deal with sleeping patterns," she told the Murnaghan programme on Sky News.
"This is a job we all go into, probably the biggest most serious job we do as individuals - and yet we seem to have no training for it. I think it is right that where parents feel they could benefit from parenting classes we encourage and support that."
