Our friend teaches in a secondary school in one of the rougher parts of Shrewsbury. She says that often nobody turns up to parents' evenings. if this is typical then I don't suppose that most people would be too bothered. I guess that many see school as a means of getting the kids out the house, someone else's responsibility, and the extent to which the teacher is qualified is irrelevant.

I detect a lot of kicking and screaming from teaching unions on this issue. It is a problem if the new trainee teachers can't teach, but is there any firm evidence that it will cause reduced standards?
