On page 370 it says,
"Families should be encouraged to take a larger - not
smaller - role in the education of the young. Parents willing to
teach their own children at home should be aided by the schools, not
regarded as freaks or lawbreakers. And parents should have more, not
less, influence on the schools.
At the same time much could be done by the schools themselves to
create a sense of belonging. Instead of grading students purely on
individual performance, some part of each student's grade could be
made dependent on the performance of the class as a whole or some
team within it. This would give early and overt support to the idea
that each of us has responsibility for others. With a bit of
encouragement, imaginative educators could come up with many other,
better ways to promote a sense of community."
