Although it really mind not seem like I am a good parent volunteer….I am, I really am

Posted in Featured education

I know I’ve mentioned that the administration and some of the teachers in my son’s school act as if they don’t really want parents around.  I tried numerous times last year to get involved but mostly I caused trouble,  I didn’t do it intentionally, I just ask a lot of questions and I don’t particularly like being treated like an ass.  And, generally speaking I don’t act like an ass but I do have that ability tucked in side me somewhere.

And, considering that most of you know the issues anyway, I’ll leave it be.  But, this year, I have teachers in my son’s grade who realize the benefit of a good volunteer.  Here’s what I did on Friday of last week.

first three was this massive assembly line that was set up by one volunteer for each teacher.  There were reading folders that had to be assembled.  If you check that link you read about the extensive nature of these reading folders.  But, here’s how it went…
