Hypocrites.  [/quote]

Right? But they’ll shriek “THAT’S DIFFERENT!!” or make the age-old DCUM claim that they’ve been back in person for years (actually true for, charitably, 20% of them). No, it isn’t different, Becky.[/quote]

Er, it's different because the kids and teacher aren't working from home.  Parents want to understand the experience their child is having every day.[/quote]

Do you need to be physically sitting in your child’s classroom to “understand their experience”? Our school has multiple separate events to meet the teacher, see the classroom, etc. I find BTSN to be tedious, especially after your kid has been at the school for more than one year.[/quote]

JFC, then don’t go.  No one is forcing you.  Others have a different opinion including me whose child has been at the school for 3 years.[/quote]

I'm curious - there is no other opportunity to visit the classroom or engage with the teacher? I think you need to name that school because that just doesn't seem possible.[/quote]

You are completely missing the point.  Many parents WORK and cannot visit the classroom and it’s their only chance.  Teachers don’t want each family to engage them one on one to ask or talk about the curriculum when they can all do it in 1 shot.

BTSN is a chance for families to see the classroom, meet the teacher, learn about expectations, curriculum, etc… for the year.  It’s a focused event and does not replace just visiting the classroom and good luck with getting the teachers time one in one to discuss what the curriculum is this year.
