There can not be a parent of a school age child who does not want their child to do better at school than they did.

Every parent wants to play an active role in supporting their child to do well in every aspect of their school life not just their academic attainment.

But our memories of what school was like are not always happy ones, and the way schools teach even the most basic aspects of English and Maths today seems very different from how things were in our day.

It is easy to understand why parents feel frustrated. It is not easy.

There is help – Caroline Hudson is a teacher who left the classroom and became the Kitchen Table Teacher.

In this episode of The Independent Minds Caroline explains how small group of parents join her around her physical or virtual kitchen as she demystifies what happens in schools and helps parents provide the support their children need.
