There's not too many spare $50 for most parents around here. It's a shame though, the teachers at our school are excellent and put in heaps of effort. Our info "nights" are actually run in the late afternoon so we just pack up the kids and bring them with us with their books to read, it's not hard. All about priorities for people, I guess.<br /><br />Back to the original topic though, on that basis (and in your part of town!) I'd definitely be doing the info night next term.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16213944904796774622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-911707550436621468.post-12961385248184148842010-06-23T15:32:52.063+10:002010-06-23T15:32:52.063+10:00I actually meant that individual families pay baby...I actually meant that individual families pay baby sitters to look after their own kids just so both mum and dad can attend the evening. What's $50? I think we live in quite a different area to you, Karen! <br /><br />My friend ran a parent night for RE a few years ago. She only taught one or two classes and had a handful of parents come. I teach 400 kids. I'd like to think I'd get a few parents along.Simone R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05248239853519762027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-911707550436621468.post-80139814647364773592010-06-23T10:07:27.348+10:002010-06-23T10:07:27.348+10:00Yes, I'm sorry, after I posted that comment I ...Yes, I'm sorry, after I posted that comment I thought it was a bit negative and that if even one person came who didn't normally attend church it would still be worth doing.<br />I might suggest the paid babysitter idea to our school for next year's info nights. They have just started paying someone to mind the kids during P&C so at least they're thinking about it. We are in what's classified as a "socially disadvantaged" area though, it's not easy to mobilise parents for anything much around here.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16213944904796774622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-911707550436621468.post-46309767153510856342010-06-22T16:44:53.360+10:002010-06-22T16:44:53.360+10:00same at our school.

It's hard enough to get them to come to the class teachers' info nights. But maybe the parents in your part of Brisbane might??<br /><br />I do like the outline though. And I would go if they ran one at our school.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16213944904796774622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-911707550436621468.post-72460505873849820022010-06-22T09:29:33.621+10:002010-06-22T09:29:33.621+10:00Would anyone come?Would anyone come?Alistair Bainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15099359104986717330noreply@blogger.com
