Personally, I think that she worded her email VERY rudely. I think that telling someone-- anyone, any profession-- when YOU'LL be coming and for that amount of time is disrepectful. Is there any chance that you didn't WANT parents at that time period? I'm sorry, but unless I actually wanted and needed people in that slot, I wouldn't put her there. I would say, "thank you so much for offering to help that much, but I actually do not need someone at that time, here are all the times I could use you." (short time slots)
Maybe I'm being uncaring, but this kind of thing gets under my skin because it | |
feels like people don't respect the job of teaching. I have times in my room where I think it's instructionally sound to invite extra help, and times where I think it's superfulous and not helpful to learning. The fact that people think that anytime is OK, means to me, that they don't see me as a professional.
Sorry-- venting. Maybe one too many visitors have tried to barge in on my teaching time!! :mad:
