Today I’m bringing back an oldie but a goodie: I’m A Room Parent, Not Your Child’s Social Secretary. In it, Jamie Davis Smith argues that while she’s happy to be a room parent, she is NOT happy to be a social secretary for the entire class. “My role as a room parent, as I see it, is to support my children’s teachers, to make their jobs a little easier… But I have my limits. At some point, the role of a room parent seems to have gotten lost in translation. Parents started reaching out to me for help with arranging activities for their kid’s outside of school.” Maybe you can relate? |
