Parental demand

[Searchertwin]

If my parents were stalking my kids at school, I'd be more than a little disturbed.

Than seems to me that your parents were more concern with what happens at school with their grandchildren than you.

I'm pretty sure the children wonder why grandma takes more interest than mommie does.

Unless you have custody or guardianship of your grandchildren, you have no inherent right to visit the school.

The fact remains, that I can visit the school. Nice to live in a small town.

Does the school allow other parents access to the child's class anytime they want? If so then the NCP must be allowed access.

OG, no, none of the parents are allowed to come in and sit in the classrooms for extended perious during instructional time. Certainly there are times when parents are welcome and even desperately needed and no parent is denied the chance to participate at those times. What is being requested would be (and has been) refused by the school regardless of who made the request.

Oh, I think most kids would wonder what's wrong with granny when she hides behind doors and sneaks around the school.

Pray tell, when you saw your child running through the halls, yelling and jumping, why did you just leave? Why didn't you correct your child? Were you spying because you believed the teacher was picking on your child? Did you believe that your child would never disrupt class and disrespect the rules?

And when they tire of you, you will be out.

I'm pretty sure the children would wonder why granny has to embarrass the living heck out of them by turning up unannounced in school. Talk about overstepping!

But that's just me.

Is yours a public school?

I think the key here might be "extended periods" versus "just popping in".

 

[I'mTheFather]

I don't have children, I have grandchildren

And I'm still trying to figure this one out!

Immaculate misconception?

That may be, but in most cases, parents have a right to observe during instructional time. If the school is saying no to every request, then their policy may be a problem. In that case, the NCP's lawyer may have a legal leg to stand on if it's a public school receiving Title I funds.

That's very true. And I know for certain that one most beloved Senior Member here had absolutely no problem at all marching right in during junior's classes to make sure he was toeing the line.

Come to think about it, I'm pretty sure the school appreciated her presence

I'd bet money on that!

I see no issue with marching in to child's school to make sure junior is toeing the line -- after all teachers and parents SHOULD work together for the most part. Why this school refuses ANYONE to come in is beyond me.
