Brody, Max, Mike Follow up comments

I like the Parent-Shared Vision Letter but I also have some concerns about it too. I feel it is important that students have all the information they need and are involved but my concern is giving parents a say in how you run your classroom may open up doors for disaster if your teaching philosophy does not match how they think your classroom should be run. Also, another concern that really came up more in the presentation discussion rather than here is that overbearing parents can be a burden or a difficult challenge but I think the challenge is finding a balance between how you want to run your classroom and ensuring that parents have say in t heir own child's education and if this means that the parent is overbearing I don't think it's the teachers position to "put them in their place" UNLESS it deals with the way they run their classroom.
