I left Imran with DH for a while this morning while I grabbed a coffee. While I was at the cafe I happened to read an article about choosing schools. The journalist claimed that only about 10% of parents consult thier children when choosing a school. I was utterly gobsmacked!!
I wasn't suprised to find out that some parents don't discuss educational options with thier children (if they even have options open to them) but to find out that parents who do consult thier children were such a minority really shocked me.
She was discussing choosing a secondary school but IMO even primary aged children are capable of visiting 2 or 3 schools and offering an opinion.
Anyway, I'm just wondering if maybe that figure is a bit inaccurate.
Where do you stand on consulting children about thier school?
