This morning I was working at the golf course and watching the morning talk shows. The View was on and the ladies were talking about the "Hot Topics". In the states in private schools the teachers are finding that the parents of their students were sending the nannies to do all the "parent" work for their children. They sent their nannies to do things such as bake sales at the school and field trips. The parents excuses were that they already pay so much money for these teachers to teach their children, they should not have to put in their "free" time to go to the school to do the teachers job.
My question is to my blog readers is what is your opinion about parents involvement with in school activities with their children?
My personal opinion about this subject is I understand that parents are very busy. When I was in elementary school my parents were always too busy with work to help out with in school activities like back sales, pizza lunches, or field trips. Most of these activities happen during the day when most parents are working so they are unable to attend. But now coming from the teachers stand point having parents in your classroom gives your classroom a sense of community! It allows us to have help with little things in our classrooms where we would not be able to give as much attention to if we were in this alone. I am not a parent yet but when I do become a parent I think that attending these activities with your child creates a good relationship with your child in and out of school.
