[quote=Anonymous][quote]Why does anyone think it is a good idea to separate 5 year olds from their parents in a place where most of the kids have never visited??? I'm a principal and they did this before I arrived. I shut that down right away. Parents visit classrooms WITH their child so it is a positive experience. [/quote]

I agree with this. My DD was fine. She was with friends from the neighborhood but some other kids didn't enjoy it. Its a very off putting experience for the first impression with the parents, sort of a "Hey welcome to institutionalized learning, we don't give a darn about you, please get out" message but this message gets given over and over again at our school.

Parents who want to help at class parties have to join the PTA, pay for class parties, and get chosen to be on the class party list. One parent who had limited english almost cried when she showed up all dressed up in a costume for her Kindergartener's Halloween party. I was really embarrassed when the PTA mom escorted her to the office so they could kick her out. What is worse was that the office did kick her out because she wasn't on the PRA class party list. Her child was upset by this too.

Lovely school. [/quote]
