RE: [teacherartexchange] asking vrs. requiring parents to help
From: Deb (surreal70_at_TeacherArtExchange)
I, fortunately, have been asking for years (15) and have no problems but it sounds to me like we are structured differently. When I started I was told that if I put basic supplies on my expectations sheet then it was ok to require parents to help out. I'm not very savvy at understanding the politics of this but it works. I do let the kids come to the room and get their things when they need them for another class so ling as they do not disrupt. Deb/Kent

Subject: [teacherartexchange] asking vrs. requiring parents to help
In my school system in MA, (even though it was many years ago when my <br>kids were small), we suggested to the principal that we would like <br>parents to supply each child with some of the basics like notebooks, <br>pencils, pens and/or a few basic art supplies. We were told that the <br>law in MA (at least at the time, I'd have to see if it has changed) was <br>that schools provide all that is needed for learning. Thus, parents may <br>voluntarily give their kids extras to bring to school, but you cannot <br>ask parents to supply things as supplies. Talk to your principal and <br>find out the best way to word these notes to parents so that it doesn't <br>cause problems down the road.<br>diane<br><br>On Aug 6, 2005, at 10:22 AM, Deb wrote:<br>> If you are not too greedy, I think parents should be asked.
