Parents want teachers to do more when it comes to teaching their children about social and life skills inside the classroom, according to a new report.
The joint study between Monash University researchers and the Australian Scholarship Group (ASG) is the only one of its kind to investigate the state of education in Australia from parents' perspective.
Undertaken by Monash Faculty of Education associate professors Sivanes and Shane N. Phillipson, the report said Australian parents want their children to have access to a "holistic education".
According to the study, 69 per cent of parents believe schools should do more to teach their child about social skills. When ethnicity is factored in, the proportion increases substantially to 94 per cent among Indian and other Asian parents.
Furthermore, 49 per cent of parents agree they would like their child's school to do more about teaching them how to behave in public, which increases to 74 per cent among Indian and other Asian parents.
The mantra "The Corps is mother, the Corps is father" springs to mind.

Except you wouldn't find minorities under represented. The modern left are racist, puritanical assholes who thrive on creating victim culture, so there's no way they'd allow this experiment.

Give the names of 3 individuals who belong to "The modern left".
...and if you name someone who has never said "the collective ownership of the means of production by The Workers", I'm going to call you a fool.
thrive on creating victim culture
Again, specific examples of this would be apt.
...and whoever mod'd you Informative is a fool.
Uninformed opinions are not that.
