Put Focus on the Kids

Do you mean parents "bickering" that kids' work isn't being hung up and the "backstabbing" that teachers did when they invited class parents in and then uninvited them a few days later? It's the teachers that seem to be very needy lately not the kids. It's time for adminstration to administrate the teachers and not be their friends. That will never happen because they will get the same increase the teachers are fighting for.
Your math is wrong - some classes have 3 class parents and some grades have 5 classes. Figure in 4 elementary schools and all the kcenter class parents. That's a lot of volunteers who were told to not come in and a lot of disappointed kids whose parents had to tell them they weren't allowed to come in. Anyone who has ever been a class parent knows that it is a special gift for your child and to get that and then have it taken away because of contract negotiations was a terrible thing to do. I'm glad parents spoke about this to the Board of Ed. What would be next - no parents allowed at Field Day? Moving Up Day? The union puts adults first, not kids. There should not have been ANY noticeable change in our childrens' school experience because of the contract negotiations. Parents are being parents when they speak up to KEEP THE KIDS OUT OF THIS.
