[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid does ballet and they don't let parents in, and it's GREAT!  Pre-covid the hallways would be crammed with parents yammering, younger siblings running amok, and I would always see the younger dancers leave class for silly reasons b/c they knew mom or dad was in the hallway.  Now it's great, I just drop my kid off and go run errands or read in my car (no idling required, this isn't Siberia).  [/quote]

No one is forcing you to stay inside the building.  If you want to run errands, go for it.  But why not let a few parents in at a time?  One token a month per family?  I feel uncomfortable letting my daughter into a building for 45 minutes with an instructor that I've never said more than Hi to.  I'd like to know what she is doing, if it seems safe etc.  [/quote]

You are struggling with your own anxiety and fear rather than rational facts.  Do you hang out at school? No, of course not and you don't meet the teacher for more than a hello really.  Back to school night is just a few minutes.  If you are at a reputable facility they will have teachers, admins, etc around.  It is not just the teacher.  If you do your homework on the front end, are to see if they background check, have any professional affiliations, etc,  are there pictures online? it is no different than sending your kid to school.  Your parental anxiety is your to manage, not the facilities to accommodate.  It is just this kind of fidgeting by parents that keeps the building closed.[/quote]
