Friday Fluff - Any Back-to-School Rants?

Does anybody besides me ever take the kids to Staples for school stuff and spend megabucks, only to discover a small fortune in used-but-still-serviceable items from last year hiding under the furniture and stuffed into closets?

You didn't say the part I quoted from your post 325?

Then I suggest you report to ivillage that someone has taken over your name and is posting.

Gee, for the third time...how so?

I thought it was 400 families, which of course could be more than 400 students, or less depending?
It's slightly less than 40 total, but then again I only have general knowledge of the classes, I don't know everyone's work status.

Ah thanks....anyone reading, please substitute 400 children for families anywhere I made that error.

My son does go to other teachers for P.E. and art, and music, etc. However that is hardly enough time for my son's teacher to run out to her car, get over to another school, sign in, volunteer and get back. She teaches all subjects except these a few other what they call *specials*. Not to mention that when these children are out of the classroom is when she is preparing for the next lesson, running off copies, clerical things, etc. Not even close to enough time to get out and go volunteer at all.
Just this.......< >>
Again, you are working very hard to make her original statement plausible when she herself almost 300 posts ago admitted that she didn't know all the families.

Because it reduces the children ratio. I didn't say in class volunteering was the only way a parent could be adequately involved with their child's education.

I did mean that. That is all that is allowed at our school. Unless the teacher is having a party or large art project where they need a lot of hands.

I do too. That is why the teacher takes over the AG students to push them along. She teaches the other children their lessons and when they break up into groups the volunteer is there to help with any issues that may arise.
