[quote=Anonymous][b][quote=Anonymous]This is a direct quote from the description of a project my kid completed: "Parent involvement completes the partnership between home and school and contributes to the overall success of the students’ creative literary experience."

How much "parent involvement" is acceptable?[/quote][/b]

How interesting!  My kids' school knocked down an extensive project for "parental involvement".  This was notwithstanding the fact it was an SN child, we had been talking with teachers and Principal about how there was too much make-work homework and too many classes for that particular grade (5th).  Even their own Latin teacher told me they were offering Latin for 20 mins. a few times a week just to say that they "offered Latin" and she couldn't work or teach under those circumstances but still the school did nothing.  So of course we had to help DC and we were all up until 3 a.m. to do it because she also had homework that entire week in 7 subjects.  And the punitive teacher knocked her project down a grade for "too much parental involvement".  We left.  Not worth 40K a year for that kind of abuse.[/quote]
