Schools are substitute parents for about 12,000 hours of your child's life. In this series of eight programmes Maureen O'Connor and Barry Turner (with your help) plot the crisis points of school days and arm you to make the best decisions along the way.
They tackle the question of how much control you have over what happens to your child in and out of school, the limits of parental choice, what you can expect from education, when and how to exert your rights. How much do end results depend on you, and how much on schools?
Parents' comments, questions. criticisms and contributions are a vital part of each 25-minute magazine.

What are We Here for, Brothers?
Presented by Mary Goldring
The power and position of trade unions in Britain have increased dramatically in recent years. Union leaders now exercise a decisive influence on government policies and enjoy a special relationship with ministers. How far has all this changed the role of the trade unions? Are the men who run the unions losing touch with their membership on the shopfloor? Will recent changes at the top of the union leadership lead to any change of direction or purpose?

2: Why Dont I Go On The Stager
' I was then 17 - and I went to Lady Benson's little school, which was close to my grandmother's house in Cromwell Road, and recited there and got the scholarship and spent a year there and I played several important parts, including bits of Hamlet and Sir Peter Teazle ; and I seemed to be getting on rather well there, although she thought me rather mannered and rather effeminate - which I was, and very conceited - which I also was, so I was put in my place a bit. She was an admirable teacher and a very sort of pungent, witty woman, not a good actress herself. She used to come and do the Ophelia mad scene in a large Edwardian hat.'
