Today, parents can say no to, for example, cooperation regarding their children's behaviour or diagnostic investigations.
The teacher suspects that an investigation may be needed. Maybe extra support in a smaller group, but the parents say no, says Liberal leader Simona Mohamsson at a press conference ahead of a bus tour she is doing in central and southern Sweden this week.
Lost time
This is lost time for our children, says Mohamsson, who is also the Minister for Education and Integration.
Mohamsson and her party also have no time to lose if the Liberals are to manage to stay in parliament after the election in seven weeks, on September 13.
Before the summer, the party was down to around 2 percent in voter support, 2 percentage points below the parliamentary threshold. In Statistics Sweden's large party sympathy survey in June, the party received 2.5 percent.
Work harder
"We are well aware that we are a party that needs to work twice or three times as hard as everyone else," she says.
She says she is completely convinced that they will pass the parliamentary threshold and that the situation before the last election was also critical.
We have been outnumbered but we have been able to sprint home, says the Liberal leader.
The proposal to remove parents' ability to say no to support measures that the school wants to implement for a student is included in a package to end the chaos and increase discipline and order in school.
The chaos affects everyone, no one escapes, and that is why it is a priority issue for us during the next term of office, says Mohamsson.
