[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There seems to be some who think it’s fine to have parents come in and help and others that think it’s extremely unprofessional. I’m wondering if it differs by grade level. I said it’s not a good look and work in a high school.  When new teachers do this, we often think they should be asking the department rather than bringing mom to work.  It makes them look like children themselves.

Are the posters who think it’s fine elementary teachers or secondary teachers? [/quote]
Asking the department to help me move around furniture or cover bulletin boards? They are busy setting up their own spaces.

There’s the difference. I’m not moving around furniture or covering bulletin boards in my high school classroom, ever. I see why you need help. Our needs are different. The focus for us is content planning and we often do so together in any spare time we can find, not the decoration.  The little kids definitely need a nicely decorated classroom on the first day. My  high schoolers made decorations themselves and hung them up throughout the first semester. That’s how my room always gets decorated. [/quote]
