[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I have used leave to volunteer and do things in my child's classroom.

I found that by the 2nd grade, parents were no longer really welcomed to actually come in during the day and volunteer and to me this makes sense.  [/quote]
I have one in 2nd and one in 3rd.  Parents are very much welcome and needed.  I typically help out by working with groups or coming up with activities to [i]enhance their creative and independent side[/i].  I am not there everyday, but usually once every couple months for a couple hours.  I love it, and my kids do too.  I feel like I have a better relationship and communication going with my kids because I am there periodically.  They can talk to me about school because they know I understand or can relate.  I don't want to be in the dark.  [i]Scary things can happen when you are in the dark[/i].   :shock: [/quote]

You sound mental.

The other problem with parents in the classroom is now you have untrained mental people working with your kids.[/quote]
Whatever helps you sleep at night, parent.[/quote]
