Is there anything more vital than good parenting? Nothing More Important argues the case for mandatory parenthood education for every child and young person of every age in every type of school, as part of the core curriculum.
Nothing More Important
Volume One
Teaching Parenthood in Schools:
Five centuries of heartfelt advocates.
Volume One gives the surprisingly long history of the idea: everyone from the 16th century until 2022 who has passionately advocated preparing students at school for their future parenting. It gives details of a great variety of programmes, mostly in the UK and US, which have been provided. There is an analysis of the many reasons why the idea of school-based parenthood education is resisted. We then cite evidence of its benefits. This volume concludes by asking: what should schools be for?

"How is it that we so unthinkingly perpetuate a chain of emotional and imaginative deprivation in our education system? Ros Kane at last spells out, with boldness and clarity, where the shortfall lies. An educational system that fails to nurture the skill to nurture is in trouble. Ros details the story of efforts to rectify this over several centuries and the sources of resistance to change, in a way that should challenge, inspire (and perhaps even to shame) educators into thinking again about what it is to educate human beings whose task it is to help others be more human."
