[quote=Anonymous]I volunteered weekly, as a parent, in our MCPS ES school recently. I did copies and classroom help (reviewing math facts with kids, etc.). I was there because it was a large class and I wanted to help free up the teacher to do her best, not to spy or help just my child. My sense from other parent volunteers was that they had a similar desire to be truly helpful. Why are so many people so hostile to those who volunteer? The teachers seemed genuinely grateful to have the help. I agree with PP that any problems with 504s and IEPs were most likely that they weren’t used enough... there were a couple of children who were clearly struggling and who might have benefited from more one-on-one help or accomodations. While it is shocking to think of them being used to isolate a child, I saw them used to provide support in a curriculum which doesn’t seem to have much built in support for children who are having a hard time mastering the concepts.[/quote]
