I really don't think anyone really wants to get rid of parents... but as someone who has taught Kindergarten, often when little ones have separation anxiety, it only gets worse the longer mom stays. Mom is, naturally, upset too, and the little one feeds off that and what started as a few

I'm trying to remember what book it is in that gives the rationale for letting the kids organize the classroom Library and do their own bulletin boards. Does anyone remember? Also, since I am switching from 5th down to 3rd, I'm a little worried about how to get rid of the lingering parents on

As a parent and educator, I find the desire to get rid of lingering parents offensive. I always began the day with morning meeting and it was OPEN to all parents and family members. They will happily go away once you give them a reason to trust you. Lori On 8/24/07 6:35 AM, Chris Preston

Wow this must be hitting a button for me. I am of two minds. Yes, we want to address parents' needs and not consider them an enemy to the classroom. On the other hand, I have experienced a LOT of parents (not just the aforementioned Kindergarten ones) who simply converse with other parents

Renee, You're not sounding crotchety, just practical. The important, and unanswered question is: why are parents lingering? If it's to socialize with one another, ask them to leave. Parents, it's story time...please feel free to quietly pull up a chair and join us, or if you prefer,
