Parents are responsible for the way students behave at school. Students perform better when their parents support them. Most schoolchildren do not turn up at school with basic materials like a pen but do bring their mobile phones, Ipods and other gadgets. Besides, the gadgets are disturbing during the classes. Another result of the lack of support is the lack of students' discipline. According to two third of all teachers the main reason for the misbehaviour of pupils is the lack of support of their parents. School ministers Nick Gibb wants to make an end of this bad behaviour.
Parents should ensure that their children turn up at school with the right equipment and motivate their children to participate in class and do their homework on time, especially on primary school. The article says nothing about the age of the pupils they are talking about therefore I have a broad opinion. If they are talking about students older than 14 I do not think that parents are equally responsible for their children’s behaviour. At that age students are not that keen on their parent’s well-meant advices and should be responsible for their own materials. Students older than 14 have to be responsible for their behaviour.
Students should always be responsible for their own behaviour but this is not the case.

So I agree with Gemma.
