In a school setting:
Parents =
Quality Control
Auditors
Safety Inspectors (and so on)
Is it really any wonder they dont really like us around much?
Is it any wonder that the staff all watch each others back and see us parents as the ones to be avoided.
We create extra work, we question their judgement, we second guess their decisions and we flat out get in the way.
I realize that this is a negative view of those who care of our children day in and day out but all parents need to check their idealism at the door of the school.
Schools are businesses and the people who run them are paid employees. This is business. We are not ever going to necessarily be welcome. We are not their friends and they are not ours. Parents can be other parents friends (in some cases) but let's not confuse the rest of the folks.
