I have had a number of calls home from my sons school about lack of effort or attitude. I am always happy to support the school, and have frequently asked what the teacher would like me to do. I have even offered to sit in lessons to embaress him in to behaving.
No one has yet taken me up on this offer, or been able to suggest a positive action that I can support.
It feels like the school just want to make a phone call and relieve themselves of the problem, rather than taking the lead and resolving it.

It's good that you are supportiveI myself have experienced some less than ungrateful parents in a phone-home situation. All the school can do, however, is to follow the behaviour policy, one of the steps of which is to notify parents of consistent bad behaviour - after all, parents are ultimately responsible for their children and in the cases of a lot of children, a simple phonecall home isn't relieving the teacher or school of the problem.
To have a parent come and sit in the class is frankly impractical and unnecessary.
