"Parents will face punishments for failing to ensure their children turn up to school "ready to learn and showing respect for their teacher", Michael Gove has declared. The Education Secretary vowed to drive up school standards "higher than ever before" as he set out an uncompromising vision and railed against what he believes is a culture of low expectations in the classroom."
"As well as hitting out at teachers who "set children up to fail" by refusing to think they might be intellectually curious or capable of greatness, Gove insisted mothers and fathers must take responsibility for their child's behaviour or face sanctions."
"In a speech to the Policy Exchange think tank, he said: "We need to ensure that those parents who don't play their part in ensuring their children attend school, ready to learn and showing respect for their teacher, face up to their responsibilities."
"We will, later this year, be outlining detailed proposals to ensure parents play their full part in guaranteeing good behaviour and outlining stronger sanctions for those who don't." Gove's hardline approach to schooling has seen him clash repeatedly with teaching unions, who claim his curriculum shake-up is a "personal ideological crusade" that fails to address what is best for pupils".
