Volunteers!

Yes! We had volunteers in our classrooms recently. It pretty much became time to complain about uniforms and other concerns. It was, from my point of view, totally unproductive. Then, today-- we have system wide parent meetings this afternoon, and out of 150 kids, I see FOUR parents. Again, largely unproductive. I could not even get anything done beyond grading some quizzes. Now those were productive because I could then pull it for any unexpected parental challenge with the student present, and totally read and critique them on written responses. Fun!
