The head of the school I am working at thinks nothing of doing the same thing and I am sure this has a huge impact on the way many parents interact with the school which of course benefits the children too. My own memory of Heads at school when I was wee were as BIG people who living in their own offices which only those who were "bad" saw the inside of and who called the shots with both parents and pupils. Hardly a way to encourage collaboration in a child's education. I am so encouraged by your story.
