[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So any parents of kindergarteners are allowed to discredit kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd as a babysitting service with no other knowlege of teaching other than their own experience and we're supposed to take their opinion as fact? That's what seems to be happening here.[/quote]
OP here.  Their children ARE in K right now.  This thread crosses K, 1st, and 2nd in our public schools.  Any parent that is actively involved in their child's education early on is going to have a voice on this topic because they want more than just a daycare or babysitting situation in K, 1st, and 2nd.  As one PP said, they just want to feel like more is going on at the school at these early levels.  [b]I am sympathetic to teachers as well who are dealing with parents who are not actively or barely involved in their child's education. [/b] That is sad, unfair to the teachers, unfair to the other children, and unfair to the active parents of those children.  Yes it is a total ripple effect but it is what it is until change happens.  I am actively writing letters and making phone calls at the county level and to Congress.  Is this frustrating! Yes...especially when I am being told that they have not received my kind of feedback from other parents.  .[/quote]

Actually I am most sympathetic to teachers who have to deal on a daily basis with [b]over involved, active[/b] parents, the ones who question everything the teacher does, needs details about why their child does not have all 4's, always takes their child's side without listening, etc.  These are the teachers who deserve the praise to endure this.  Yes, communicate, but make sure it is a two way communication. Uninvolved parents may be too busy working to make ends meet, but are appreciative of what the teacher can provide to their child.  Write your letters, and deal with the politics but listen to the teacher before calling it babysitting.[/quote]

Amen!  OP sounds like a loon.[/quote]

You are an ugly person.  Get off this thread.[/quote]
