Gentleman, Amelia. "Do We Need Parenting Classes?" The Guardian. The Guardian, 30 Mar. 2012. Web. 18 Mar. 2015.
"Gentlemen’s article talks about the introduction of after-birth parenting classes named the “Save the Children scheme” by the UK government. The Save the Children foundation describes themselves as, 'Save the Children works in 120 countries. We save children’s lives. We fight for their rights. We help them fulfill their potential (“About Us”).' The UK government rolled out these parenting classes after the famous riots that happened in London in 2011. Gentlemen has quoted 'government-commissioned reports [that] have highlighted the need to improve parenting, and have often carried an uncomfortable subtext of blaming parents for children's failures, and sometimes a peculiar conflation of being poor with being a poor parent,' one being from Frank Field and Graham Allen, two 'Labour MPs,' which stands for the Members of Parliament representing the Labour Party (Gentleman)."
