[quote=Anonymous]I think there should be *more* of it, not less. I think the parents get a better understanding of the classroom and all the kids benefit from extra attention while the teacher is busy. In the early years sometimes just reading to an adult is helpful even if it's not explicit instruction. If you observe in the classroom often enough it's easy to see how the teacher handles situations (like "how do I spell this word?") The teacher is right there to ask if you don't know what to do! There might be a hiccup once in a while, but in our school teachers see quickly which parents have a knack for following instructions and working with kids, and which do not and give them more suitable work. Frankly, I've heard far more hair-raising stories about aides, which in some counties must not be very well paid or well hired. Maybe the difference is that the parents are motivated to volunteer. I like that my child knows other adults not their parents or their teachers are also interested in them as people, and in their success.[/quote]
