[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tis is why I am glad parents are not allowed to volunteer in the class room. A writing sample or struggling with a concept does not show a kid is not smart. Ten they go and talk about the Kia on their limited experience and intelligence. [/quote]

I feel this way too.  Volunteer?  Fine, work in the office, set up the bake sale, organize box tops, etc.  In the class room?  No.  Kids deserve privacy too.[/quote]

Agree 1000%  Our school allows the parent volunteers to test the kids, too.  Totally inappropriate.  If the teachers need help with instructional tasks, the school should provide professionals to do that.  the principals have discretionary money in their budgets and it should be used for that.  Parent volunteers are fine for non-instructional things, copying, field trips, etc. but they should not be teaching.  And if you happen to be one of the parents who volunteers and helps with instructional tasks, please be aware that there is a federal law mandating educational privacy.  You should not be discussing other children.  [/quote]
