[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If teachers are professionals, they can't have it both ways. They can't rely on Mommy-helpers in the classroom. I'm sorry to take away a source of fun and socializing for the Moms but you aren't a teacher. You aren't a professional. I don't like that teachers have now made it part of the teacher's job to oversee the Moms' experience in the classroom. The environment is no longer professional and I have a lot less respect for the professional of teaching.[/quote]

Perhaps that is your impression (or a story you made up in your head) but very few mothers are socializing in the classroom with the teacher while volunteering. What teacher has time for that? It would be a huge distraction. The point of parents helping is to make things go smoother. We are making copies, hanging up artwork, cutting laminations, stuffing folders. I don’t do it to become a Besty with a teacher, I do it because I have the time, I want to be helpful, and children seeing another smiling face is not a bad thing.[/quote]
