Classical Conversations Question regarding parents in classroom

[QuirkyKapers]

I know that the parents are required to stay in the classroom with their children. What do you do if you have one child who likes the program and wants to do it and another doesn't want to do it?

They require that for any children under the age 12, which frankly isn't a bad rule at all. I've taught at other co-ops, and having the parents there does help with keeping order and also reduces the liability issues for the Director, tutors, and facility.

 

If you don't bring your other child, you will have to find childcare for them. I do know of one family that dropped one off at the grandmother's house each week and brought the others.

I agree. I think it is a good rule. I read somewhere that you can have someone else responsible for your child. I was surprised because that really defeats the benefits of the parent being involved with their child/ren in the classroom.

Any child who is on campus and old enough for CC must be enrolled. If you have a child who doesn't want to participate, you'll have to find alternate, off-site childcare.

 

As far as another parent being in charge of your child: our group has no problems with that on occasion i.e. one of your other children is sick, family emergency, etc. It is definitely not a permanent arrangement.

Thanks! Good to know! :)
