Dear Members - I'm hoping to locate someone with information about the
public schools in Albany and/or Corvallis, Oregon. Are there any members
with information? Is so, my personal address is [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thank you so much! I really hope to hear from someone!!!
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
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.

Chris, it might be helpful to wonder why a parent might want to take
some time in your classroom before handing off their child to an
adult they don't yet know. Parents are very busy people. If they're
lingering, there's a reason. It's a shame that parents and teachers
make the serious

Does anyone remember?

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,
Our school does a 'boo-hoo' breakfast. At least, that's what the staff
calls it. (In our county, we have a First Day Celebration. All
parents are encouraged to accompany their children to their classrooms,
and 'hang-out' for a few minutes. At 9:15 (1/2 hour after school has
begun) an

What a nice idea! I have three boys, I cried with number one, got misty
with number two, but by the time number three went (and we gained a car
payment in unpaid daycare costs!!!), I was dancing on the table. Funny, I
think he and I have the closest bonds, but it was easiest letting him go.
I thought I might add some food for thought. There are districts where
parent involvement support is low, where families feel intimidated or
unwelcome because of perceived and real injustices and indifference, past
and present. I teach in such a district and have seen teachers react
negatively

If the child (and/or the parent) is/are distressed, I have found it easier to
explain the need for separation like this:
The child will find security in the way the parent reacts to the separation.
If the parent feels/behaves as if it is safe to leave his/her child in the
classroom (says the
