[quote=Anonymous]NP here. This post seems to be taking a weird turn, and possibly the OP was a little over-dramatic. But I do think she has a legitimate gripe. If a parent is concerned about a kid's behavior toward her own child, it is NOT appropriate to hijack a volunteer assignment to chastise other kids. She should have taken it up with the teacher, or with the OP directly if it was that serious; if it was just the apparently normal nonsense that goes on between kids, she should be working with her daughter to figure out solutions for managing social difficulties.

I say that as a parent of an elementary student who has been the subject of some teasing etc. by other classmates. I do occasionally volunteer, in part to get a first-hand sense of how he interacts with others. But I would NEVER confront another child while volunteering except to deal with an immediate danger or problem (eg., break up a fight on the playground or something like that.) OP, I'd speak to the teacher in all this. But I do agree that someone should give the other parent guidance about volunteer responsibilities.[/quote]
