[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You learn a lot going through a version of their day. The teachers, the families in the class, how far they have to walk/when, the timing of lunch/gym compared to the rest of the day, so many nuances that can't even be described.

I can't imagine giving up the opportunity to have perspective and context (not to mention, ability to help/suggest solutions to issues) when my kid is telling me about their day.

Honestly I try not to judge parenting but this is pretty bad.[/quote]

Your kids don’t tell you these things?  You need to see them in person to understand?  
My kids give me play by plays (usually).  Knowing what the hallways look like or what time lunch is won’t make a difference. [/quote]

To think a parent who didn't attend has the same level of understanding as one who did is delusional thinking.[/quote]

Totally agree. Parents don’t wanna parent. [/quote]

Lol. Do you actually have an older middle schooler?  Back to school night is so irrelevant and has nothing to do with parenting. This isn’t second grade where you meet the teacher. You shuffle through like 8 classes for five minutes each and don’t actually meet the teacher. You listen to four minutes of babble that tells you nothing about the class and then you shuffle to another classroom and start over. Anyone who thinks that gives them a leg up on parenting or that they are helping their kid in any way by doing that is delusional. [/quote]
