We have a high percentage of single parent homes as well. I had an extremely hard time getting volunteers even to go on a field trip--when we gave them a month and a half notice. I think it is wonderful to have parents that want to be involved, but I think that there has to be some limitations somewhere. It sounds wonderful to have such involved parents, but I don't know that I would feel comfortable having parents in my room four days a week. I think somewhere between where you are and where I am would be heavenly. :) I teach at a school that is 50-60% free and reduced lunch. We have a high percentage of single parent homes as well.

My question is have you all ever seen an employee fired due to the "over involvement" of parents? The chapter talks about it happening to a principal. But, I am hoping that your parents haven't ever gone to that extreme. I knew that I could get a different perspective from your school.
