Welcome back to the blogosphere - I thought you'd gone for good.
My experience is with older teenagers (all in their twenties now). The undermining of parent-child communications by schools and, more sinisterly, by government agencies such as Connexions, is a running theme through state education nowadays. They act as though they want to steal your child. Culturally they do.
Respecting your child's confidentiality is the touchstone. The school will tell you nothing, and I mean nothing (truancy, drug problems, pregnancies) unless your child consents to it.
Thanks for the welcome. Yes, this confidentiality thing is a very insidious thin end of a wedge. The fact that a child can not be given an aspirin or a cuddle at school after a fall, but can be taken for an abortion and that never revealed to her parents, is quite incredible.
