For Mums and Dads who care about their children
The purpose of this blog is to be the one stop shop when it comes to your child’s education. As we build the blog, I hope you will revisit and engage with the learning materials in order to support your child’s education.
The fact is that, certainly in the U.K., education is under resourced. Schools are desperate for money. I have had teachers say ‘Dr Lawler we cannot buy a book before June next year, we have no money.’
However your child has one go at education. Believe me, in the future no-one will make allowances saying, ‘ Oh well, we understand that you went to school in the austerity years, that’s why you have low qualifications’.
The reality is that you, as mum and dad have to support your children as much as possible. As a mathematics educator I will obviously be concentrating on mathematics but there will be other issues and sets of information to share with you. You can contact me directly via my Facebook page and I will do my best to help.

Very interesting post. It is eye opening to see that the education system in the UK is in as bad shape as it is here in Canada. It is exciting to see someone doing something proactive about it. I look forward to following your blog over time.
Thanks for the great post.

many thanks for getting in touch. We do need mums and dads to support their children.
