[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At my school parents are read the riot act about how they are there to supervise a group of students, not just little larla and latlo. If they are not up to the task of watching a whole group or they are busy on their phone the whole time they are put on a " do not chaperone" list[/quote]

Last year for K, before a field trip to the Postal Museum, our teacher actually said, "Please do not remove your child or other children in your group from the building." It would have never occurred to me to do something like that, but obviously she said it for a reason.

I recently went on a first grade field trip and the teacher gave us specific instructions and her cell number. But even then we had to wait a few times while one parent took selfies with her kid before leaving school, before leaving the bus, etc. So it is hit or miss I think. Personally I like going on field trips to get to know the other kids in my son's class. And I've got no problem discipling other kids...I worked as a teacher for a while. Like on the bus when the kid in front of me is lying on the floor of the bus, I say "Hey Larlo, sit properly or I'll send you up to Miss Smith." Of course he was in the group with selfie mom, who was sitting in front of them, seriously taking more selfies on the bus with her kid.[/quote]
