[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also don’t like how they [b]take away lunch[/b] and recess as a consequence. [/quote]

What does that mean?[/quote]

It means kids eat in the office and spend lunch and recess in the office as a punishment.  [/quote]

That is an excellent punishment since teachers are so limited now in what they can do.

I'm surprised posters are so invested in whether or not they have the opportunity to volunteer and place emphasis on that as a measuring stick for the school. I assume this is SAHMs (not a criticism) because as a working parent, I'm thrilled not to have to add volunteering to my plate.[/quote]

Volunteering is an extra to me, but I do consider minimal parent/teacher communication, especially when there is an issue, one metric by which to measure the school.  I know most working parents have enough on their plates, but I can't help feeling something is missing when my friend in another part of the county says jokingly to me "If I have to go to one more kindergarten event or help with one more classroom project! etc...." and I'm literally like, we have had zero. Nothing the entire year.  Other schools ARE doing it very differently, but I understand that it's a matter of preference and time.  I work part time so I do have a bit of time I could dedicate to the school, and wish there was more of a community feel.  But I do understand that these aren't the sole things to measure a school by.  [/quote]
