[quote=Anonymous]Do the complainers about volunteers in a public school classroom understand that there isn't enough money to hire additional teachers to teach their children and how hard it is for a teacher to teach to the number of children in each classroom these days?  I've seen how volunteers can help the children with specific skills including when I've volunteered myself.  And I will always be grateful for the volunteer who helped my DS learn to read in preschool by reading a small book with him every week.  As a volunteer I can sit with a small group of kids to help them more in depth and rotate each time with new children whereas the teacher has to oversee the whole class and doesn't get much one on one time with each child.  Do you think this is the only way children and parents find out how well academically other children are doing in the class?  If a volunteering parent does happen to get an idea where academically the other children are, they are mostly just using that knowlege to gage their own child's work, not others.  Some parents seek out schools where volunteers are allowed.  If you don't want volunteers helping your child just tell the teacher and I'm sure the volunteers will be happy to spend the time with the other children in the classroom.[/quote]
