[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 387697, member: 8831"] i've volly'd in both kids classrooms and i can, without a shadow of a doubt say that yes, things get worse. (at least when they were younger--now difficult child 1 probably wouldnt care much, and difficult child 2 would be mortified at my mere presense) but frankly, in my opinion, the [I]whole class[/I] falls apart when a parent or any new person is in the classroom so i've never taken it personally. its more interesting than whatever goes one all day long, its exciting for them to see someone new, in some cases it becomes a who can outdo whom for attention, and on and on. i realize someone has to do it....but umm, i'll pass that torch happily :-D i highly suggest just going with your gut on it. unless you go to some kind of private school or religious school, i dont believe its mandatory to make a parent volunteer, and if it is, you could always offer to makes copies (dittos?!, LOL), cut out the million valentine/shamrock/wreaths that need to be cut, or whatever *in the office* to fulfill that requirement.
