Discussion keeps the world turning.
This is round table.
A secondary school in east China's Hangzhou city recently held a unique parent teacher meeting, which only fathers are invited to attend.
And while they were at it, they drafted and issued a ten point mou outlining the responsibilities of good fathers.
This in turn, started a new round of discussion about the role of fathers in parenting.
Hello, I'm Lai Ming, and this is round table.
Today, with Neil Holling and Steve Hatterley, we share our observation on the shifting winds in parenting.
So the fathers were invited to attend a parent teacher meeting?
They were invited.
Is that the right word?
Required?
Forced?
Forced.
Yeah, they were, they were.
Attendance was mandatory to use school terminal.
And apparently you're not allowed.
Allowed to ask for leave, to be absent, saying that.
Well, I know you're very busy as a dad, but, you know, you have.
To be here for that or you'll be fired.
What were the.
