There are a group of very competitive parents attached to my DS's Reception class. Up until now children take their coats off then go through the cloakroom into the class. Since going back after half term, some parents are asking their DC to come back out and hand them work to give to the teacher. I thought it was odd but didn't think much of this until today. A mum I now quite well joined in today so I asked her what was going on. Some parents are sending examples of work in for parent's evening/consultation next week. Teacher/ TA did not ask for examples.
Isn't the point that children demonstrate skills independently?
Why not put work in homework diary/ book bag?
