Popis: Quite often schools attempt to take on the unofficial role of the custodial parent, creating rules and regulations that infringe upon parents roles. Schools also limit the degree to which families can be involved in their childrens schooling. Some school-created literature that is available to parents takes on a tone of entitlement that some parents may not feel comfortable in challenging. As a result there is the potential to infringe upon family values and beliefs. This paper looks at three areas where schools have gone too far in their supposed role to educate children.
