Help for Parents from 4YZ
FEW months ago when many school children were doing their lessons at home because of the poliomyelitis outbreak, teachers often found that parents were so out of touch with the aims and -methods of approach in modern education that they could not give their children the right kind of assistance with this home work, The idea arose that greater understanding between teachers and’ parents could be stimulated by free broadcast discussions by panels of speakers, and demonstrations of method by selected groups of pupils and teachers. As this scheme originated in Southland about 20 programmes were recorded in Invercargill schools by the Mobile Recording Unit of the NZBS, and these will be heard from 4YZ under the title At School To-day, starting at 8.12 p.m. on Monday, September 13. The programmes are largely experimental, and consist of parentteacher discussions on such subjects as the new approach to reading (wiith dramatized effects by groups of children), talks by specialists on new topics like speech therapy, intelligence testing, visual and physical education, and discussions between specialist teachers and teachers of general subjects. Similar programmes may be made and broadcast in other centres if these prove a success.
