[quote=Anonymous]We appreciate when parents are willing to volunteer their time and it’s the only long term solution. We are short staffed bc we are allocated so few hours for para support and secondly, paras are not applying for these positions since they can now make a higher hourly rate working at fast food chains and not have to deal with rude and unruly children.  Parents HAVE to step in and support or this will not be sustainable. I think it’s reasonable for parents to give up one hour of their work day a few days a year to be our partner in all of this. I’d be willing to give up my limited pto if my child’s school requested volunteers.

However, it would also be great if parents supported schools by modeling and teaching their kids how to behave at school. Teachers remind the kids every day, but are often ignored. Parents can help by taking their kids to a park over the weekend and see how they interact with others (be present with your child and off your phone). If they misbehave, intervene, make them apologize, and hold them accountable for their actions with having consequences at home. [/quote]
