[quote=Anonymous]It is interesting to read about the extent of parental involvement in the elementary schools. Our kids are currently in a well-regarded private elementary in DC and the school has very specific (and limited) times when parents are allowed at the school.  (For example, the school definitely does not allow parents to come for lunch and the in-classroom volunteer time is very limited (allowed perhaps 1 or 2 x per year for a special event).  )

In the interest of saving more for retirement, we are switching our kids to public schools in MoCo (Bethesda) next year. I noticed lots of in-classroom parental involvement, which I hope is helpful to the teachers. If parents do come for lunch, I hope it is to give teachers a bit of a break from lunch duties rather than just sitting with their child. One teacher I know who has taught at both public and private said that in her experience, the public school teachers have a more jam-packed school day than private-school teachers (who may have more catch-up time while the kids are at various specials).

So in a nutshell I know that private school parents are not allowed much in-school time at all, in case that is helpful to know. [/quote]
