Parental Involvement
As much as we appreciate the desire of parents to be actively involved, it is best that parents are not in the classroom without the instructor's permission for several reasons:
1) In many of our facilities it is becoming increasingly difficult to manage a large group of children and their parents in a small space.
2) Many times the students will be inhibited from doing the best job they can do if their parents are around. Often they will become distracted or restrict their performance for the class.
3)Having parents in the classroom inhibits the instructors form class discipline. Often times the instructor cannot say or address theings because they may be self-conscience as to how a parent may be perceiving their actions - even when it is the right action to take.
Therefore, parents are welcome to sit and observe the first week of class, after that, are requested to drop off their children and pick them up at the end of class. Due to the restrictions of the facilities we are using, we are asking parents not to stay onsite, unless they are working with the group at the instructor's request. If there are special circumstances, please call the instructor in advance.
