[quote=Anonymous]I think OP might not be American and is very surprised by parents’ involvement in American schools. I have 3 kids in private schools and I can’t believe how much parents involvement there is. Of course not everything (almost nothing) is mandatory, but when every other parent is there, you don’t want to have your kid always alone. In our schools there are weekly (or bi-weekly) events in the morning after drop off where parents walk their kids in the classrooms and do some simple games with their kids. Then there are SO MANY different events that come up for which one parents needs/should be present or for which parents need to volunteer.

We can’t make them all, but try our best especially those that involve our kids directly.

I am Italian and in my country my parents needed to be present to watch recitals  twice a year and twice to speak to the teachers.

I am late to work or need to take time away from work weekly. Thankfully my job is flexible and I work from home so nobody is checking.

As for reading school messages, that’s kind of on you or your husband. [/quote]
