Volgens een analyse van de KU Leuven dragen scholen vandaag te veel opvoedkundige verantwoordelijkheid en moeten ouders opnieuw de rol van ‘eerste leerkracht’ overnemen. “Het Vlaams Belang zegt dit al jaren”, zegt Vlaams Parlementslid Roosmarijn Beckers. “Ouders moeten geresponsabiliseerd worden en hun rol spelen in de opvoeding van hun kinderen.”
Onderwijseconoom Kristof De Witte (KU Leuven) heeft in een nieuwe studie een pleidooi gehouden voor meer ouderbetrokkenheid. Volgens hem ligt vandaag bijna alle verantwoordelijkheid bij de scholen, die volgens sommigen nog veel meer zouden moeten doen. De Witte vindt dat ouders opnieuw de rol van eerste leerkracht moeten opnemen en actief hun kinderen moeten helpen bij hun huiswerk. Hiermee kan de dalende onderwijskwaliteit en de evolutie naar schaduwonderwijs tegengegaan worden.
“De verantwoordelijkheid van ouders stopt niet aan de schoolpoort”
“Wat deze studie van de KU Leuven zegt, is niet meer dan gezond verstand en bevestigt wat het Vlaams Belang al jaren vindt”, zegt Roosmarijn Beckers. “Alle opvoedkundige verantwoordelijkheid wordt veel te makkelijk afgeschoven op het onderwijs. Ouders moeten geresponsabiliseerd worden en hun rol spelen door te helpen met huiswerk.”
Een argument tegen ouderparticipatie is dat dit de ongelijkheid vergroot, maar deze studie spreekt dit tegen. “Het werd tijd dat dit eindelijk eens ontkracht werd”, aldus Beckers. “Hopelijk is hiermee de linkse gelijkheidsobsessie definitief begraven en kunnen we de drang naar nivellering in het onderwijs een halt toeroepen.”
