I agree Glen, education starts at home with involved parents. Like you, our children have reading time with us every day and the benefits of this are obvious within the school environment.
Unfortunately there is a small group of parents in every state across Australia who treat teachers and classrooms like daycare centres.
For the percentage of my Son's Gr 2 cohort that is struggling with reading, the school has always made a big effort to get them up to speed. Some improve while others continue to struggle, but it is plain to see that the teaching staff and parent helpers will always do their best to help every student reach their full potential.
Regading the Australian School Curriculum Review:
Is there anything that another review can reveal to improve the situation?
Were the curriculum standards really better when past generations went through the schooling system?
