Don't criticize teachers so ignorantly.

Teachers can rarely teach effectively such large classrooms, especially if they accelerate certain students and offer remediation to others.

Unfortunately, this does not mean that parents should be in the classroom, despite their urge to see their child.
The constant coming and going of unfamiliar faces can be very distracting to students, and poses a huge confidentiality issue when graded work is distributed or students are discussed by teachers (some parents even grade the students' work themselves!!!).
The most efficient help is done by trained paraeducators who are made aware of confidential information relating to some or all students and can hone in to bolster their weaknesses.

There is a lot parents CAN do to help in a school. There is artwork to arrange and put up in the corridors, library books to organize, children to shepherd to and fro, fliers to stuff in folders, booths to man, food to cook, recess to observe, money to give, the list goes on and on!

But parents do not belong in a classroom.
