[senco-forum] parents info

because we are spending time withg children - well, I guess it'd be a big

I am never quite sure just what is the same/different in England and in
Wales, where I am, but are governors meant to ask you to do things like
that?  Ours never did, in the schools I was in and they never do that in
the school where my husband is a governor.

Sometimes, new governors take a while to get used to the fact that, as
individual governors, they have no power at all; any power resides in the
Governing Body as an entity.  Both my husband and I have experienced
several people who have been full of what they were going to get teachers
and schools to do; they eventually learned exactly what was possible and
what was not!

Regards

Jean

 Hear, hear Gaynor - if we all added up the paperwork that has to wait
