Introduction	I have been a parent in education for over 30 years as well as working as an OFSTED Lay Inspector in all types of schools, I have also played an active membership role in PTA's since the 1980's. During the last teachers pay dispute 21 years ago, I founded a parents association to bring parents and teachers together. Since that time I have been part of the National Confederation of Parent Teachers Association and through this I have spoken to hundreds of parents and teachers, frequently broadcast on local and national radio and appeared on most TV news broadcasts. This has given me an incredible insight into parents views and opinions and shown me the benefit of parents working closely with their child's school. I have no political bias, having worked with every Secretary of State since Sir Keith Joseph.
