They often talk about things that kids should not hear:
- the actual day sex Ed starts (fourth grade)
- how discipline may work (at one btsn the teacher explained she has a point system where the kids work towards a pizza party. She had only a single class earn two in a year but all will earn one for field day. The kids aren't to know that earning that one is a definite)
- teacher in fifth grade discussed how math groups are based on protests and kids are placed in groups based on how well they did but they did NOT want the kids to know which group meant what. 
- teacher in second had sign up for mystery reader there for parents to sign up for it right then

This is not a family event. This is to provide information between the adults (teachers, parents, specialists, some admin, etc). That's it. [/quote]

Since everybody knows that some people will bring their children, for [reasons], maybe the school should rethink its approach about saying things they don't want the children to hear.[/quote]

Hell to the no. I'm there to get the spiel from the teacher. I don't want a sanitized version because mary brought her kids and I didn't. I want as much info as possible about my kids' education, in person, face to face. [/quote]

Well, ok, then the teachers will just have to be prepared to say stuff they don't want the kids to say.[/quote]
