[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are working with kids at math or reading, you are going to be able to tell who is getting it and who isn't.  The teachers don't have to "share" info. for a volunteer to figure it out.

If your child is doing his/her best, then be comfortable with that.  It doesn't matter what other people's opinions are.  Volunteers are going to have opinions based on what they see.  True, it isn't a complete picture.  But, everyone is entitled to their own opinions and they don't have to get your permission to have an opinion about kids/grades/schools.[/quote]

They are entitled to their opinions, but they should be mature enough to keep them to themselves.  I have found that many of the volunteer moms are busybodies who feel the need to share what they discover in the classroom with other mothers.  I find it incredibly offensive that they gossip about early elementary school children with other mothers.  [/quote]

There has been no discussion of gossipping or telling other people who's kid is doing what on this thread.  You may have concerns about that b/c your child is LD or you have seen people gossipping about low performers.  In this thread, the PP expressed his/her opinion and didn't name names and never said he/she discussed specific students with other parents.  He/She has made a conclusion that you don't agree with.  A person who is exposed to a situation will usually process that and try to make sense of it by finding an explanation.  You can say based on your experience, that your child is not behind for lack of parental interaction.  However, I bet there are plenty of kids who could improve with more parental interaction.  The fact that your child is not one of them does not negate the theory that a good portion of the kids who have not met benchmarks could meet them if they had more parental help.
