I hope you get to have a class devoted to audio.

Personally, I don't see a big deal with this though. Who cares, lunch sucks in grade school anyway, and its not like they're probably going to keep it up through junior and high school, so I don't see anything wrong with it. There really wasn't that much socialization going on during lunch in elementary school, most of it was in gym and recess and normal class.

Science is my goal, so I could probably work it in.

I could see some special circumstances where this could be a good idea, but there's a lot more to school than just learning stuff and I think some students being pulled away to have lunch with their parents could put kids in tough situations.

If there is some sort of system in place where the kids really get to decide if that's what they want to do without the fear of the parent getting offended and such, then I have no problem with it.

I just know there are a lot of really overly involved parents that could be taking away some important time for the kids to interact with each other outside a formal classroom setting.

When you have kids, there's no time that isn't parent time.

Just don't pay attention to them anymore. I see now...unfortunately that site is blocked from work. Is it a pic of her naked?????

 

[eakers]

When I went to school, lots of parents occasionally picked their kids up and took them out for lunch or kids went home for lunch. I don't think this is that big of a deal or different.

At least there are still parents in the world that want to spend time with their kids!!!

 

[frank84]

when I was young, I used to HATE a kid with his mom always coming to school classroom with bunch of food just for HIM.
His mom always brought it during the class, infront of 20 other un-fortunate (including me) kids

it's school god damnit..
if you want your kids to be close by, homeschool him.

Parents should not be allowed in their child's school.

Mind your own business. You have no business telling other parents how to raise their kids, and especially getting upset about such trivial issues.

Raise your own kids, take some diversity / sensitivity courses / grow up / whatever.

Imagine how awkward that would be.
Your friend comes over, pops in his new DVD.
Your're getting kinda into it, maybe getting stiffy at this hot chick. They zoom out and BAM! It is the face of the woman that used to spit on a kleenex and wipe your face!

Parents are actually ruining the schools now. I know many teachers and they say the hardest part is not teaching the kids, it's dealing with the dumbass parents. Every parent thinks their kid is either too smart, too dumb, too special, too tall, too talented.

This just looks like a way for the moms who never spend time with their kids, to take off a half hour break between watching Dr.Phil and Oprah and going to their yoga class to makes themselves feel like they are doing a good job as a parent.

I plan on visiting my son at least twice weekly for lunches with him and his friends once he starts school. As long as its not directly and justly distracting to the other kids and their schoolwork, I dont see the issue. Kids need to know that Mom and/or Dad are directly involved in their lives. I do see your point about repeatedly removing the child from the middle of class however.

 

[Corporate Thug]

its a bit strange, but nothing to write home about.

So many correct answers to choose from.... and so many wrong ones.

I wonder if I could give extra credit / partial credit on that one.

Nice.

I think you need to turn that statement over in your head a few times.

It's not a matter about telling them what to do, it's a matter of should parents be allowed to disrupt a child's school time for their own benefit?

I just wanted opinions on what others think about the idea. If you don't like people asking questions or posting opinions, then what is OT for?

 

[dquan97]

I don't see the big deal about it. my wife stays at home with our baby and once he is old enough to go to school, I don't mind having them eat lunch together on campus.

i dont see how thats disturbing their school time. its not like they are pulling them out of class to go to starbucks.

 

[cKGunslinger]

About 2-4 times per year, my wife and/or I will go eat lunch in the cafeteria with our kids. We eat at their regular cafeteria time, and with their class.

I usually try to out-gross the 10-year-old boys who sit next to my daughter, then I subtly remind them all that I could break them like twigs and bury them where their bodies would never be found again - and would continually to be able to do so for the next 10 years or so.

This is your opinion, not mine, and it's also self-contradictory. You say that you don't want parents to be allowed to do this, yet you say that you're not telling parents what to do. Clearly you have a strong opinion on how parents should raise their kids. Most parents would tell you in such cases to give the parents the benefit of the doubt, and let them do as they see fit in their case. Voicing opinions, giving them to parents even, as such, is fine, but be prepared to take a "mind your own business and raise your own kids" as a fair response in this case.

You got my opinion on the subject. You're quite welcome btw.

You see to me, that's totally different. You have a parent coming in an spending time with the entire class.

You're not taking them away from the class environment, you're becoming a part of it.

how is lunch part of the "class environment"?

sounds too much like "brain washing" time or something. the kids don't "belong" to the school or teacher

Same thing at this school. Parents run the place. God forbid you try to give their child a demerit. There are a constant 5~10 parents who mill around the schoolyard ALL day. Waiting for their kid to get out. They wander around the school. Eat lunch with their kids. SIT IN the class that their child is in and observe.

The school currently is fighting two lawsuits.
1. Child didn't get onto the baseball team
2. Unjustified detention for threatening a teacher with what looked like mace

Mind you, this is a K-8 Parochial Catholic School.

The teachers are more afraid of getting sued by the parents for giving the kid a C or a detention. Whats worse is that the school doesn't even backup the teachers. There are some kids you just don't touch because the backlash from the parents would be insane.

Class naturally - means the students.

My point was in one case (which I pointed out in my OP) is a parent coming in and taking their kids away from the class to spend time alone with them.
The other case (as pointed out by cKGunslinger) involved him not taking his kids away from the class, but interacting with all of the children.
