Secondary School All children attending the local high school must have encouragement from parents. This encouragement takes many forms. It requires a period of talks to the pupil about school life; it requires discussing his work with teachers; it requires attending functions at school; and it requires rigid control of his swotting programme each night. Whether the pupils have any set homework or not, they should be reading over their notes or preparing for the next day. Many Maori parents are perturbed that they cannot help their children at this level because they lack the knowledge. Let me stress the point that even as a university graduate I would never hope to give my child any tuition in his science subjects. But what he will get is a quiet room for at least two hours every night of the week and every possible encouragement from his parents.
