[quote=Anonymous]I attended public school in Virginia, on the East Coast, and on the West Coast in the 1980-1990 time frame and I cannot remember one tour being given of the school or students shadow days. My child has never had a tour or a Shadow Day at his public school in FCPS. I had no idea that any public school provided tours or shadow days. Teachers and Principals are overwhelmed with the non-teaching related tasks that are dumped on them as it is. Adding in tours and shadow days is just another thing.

If you want to get to know the school, ask your neighbors about the school. Check out the school placcard to find out when concerts and plays and the like are. Attend those to see what they kids are doing. You can even do a quick walk around the school and see what the school looks like and pop  your head into the classrooms. Attend a kindergarten round up, those are advertised. If you are looking at a school that is an AAP Center, find out the date of the AAP Open House and attend that.

But enrolling to attend a few weeks of school places an additional burden on an unsuspecting Teacher at a chaotic time of year and is, to be frank, disrespectful of the Teachers time and energy. OPs job as a parent is to explain why starting at a school just to check it out is not proper.
