[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I opt out. I rather not have other parents calling or contacting me. Incidents happen where other parents are all talking and seeking information out on one another. I dislike it. I dislike drama. I also have never had a teacher give our where I live or a phone number to another parent. If my child gets invited to anything, the invite is placed in my child's backpack, how it should be done. I understand I may seem cold to some but I'm not. I just like to keep most of my information private. [/quote]

I tend to be paranoid, but you beat me big time. I think you should realize that in general other parents could not care less about you, what you do and so on. by opting out of the directory, preventing the teacher from giving your info to others who simply want to talk to you, you are creating unnecessary drama and directing attention to you, instead of away from you. I guess other parents would start wondering why all this secrecy.  moreover, if a stranger put  a message in my child's backpack with an invitation, I would not be positively impressed. when I invite kids, I always contact their parents directly, since as a parent, I want to talk to anybody who invite my child.

I have been in the directory for 4 years now, and happily being ignored by everybody. so, take the plunge, and I am fairly sure your life is not going to change much.......[/quote]
