[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my experience as a parent of a child with SN I would say it is a routine and expected request.  I have done this in both public and private alone and with our advocate.  [/quote]
+1 but the key is the advocate.  An advocate is an educational expert who knows what they are looking at.  Their observation is part of an official process to address a gap between the child's potential and current performance and/or a gap between what is being taught and what the child is taking away from the lesson (in public school it's part of the IEP process).  When an advocate is scheduled for an observation a school member of staff needs to escort them to and from the classroom.  Public schools manage this all the time.

I don't know of any parents who have done an observation themselves.  Usually a situation is either serious enough to warrant an expert observation or it can be dealt with in a parent-teacher conference.  Especially in a private school, where parent-teacher conferences and teacher feedback are more "meaty" than at public school.  Where do you think your situation falls?  [/quote]
