Parents invited to school to observe lessons

[redwinebluecheese]

I'm looking for some advice. My son's school has invited parents to come in and observe some Sixth Form lessons. A few of my friends, who also have children at the school, are considering attending.
My concern is that my son, who has struggled with his A Levels, might be seen struggling in class by other parents, which worries me.
Additionally, this seems like it could put a lot of pressure on the teachers. Am I right to think there might be a confidentiality issue here? Shouldn't the school seek permission from parents like me before allowing this?

It seems to me they want to put on a performance yet I am paying a lot of money for my son to be taught at this school.

Especially with the VAT issue, in many schools I understand there’s a bigger drive than previously to retain y11 into the sixth form.

Is it parents of current y11 and below who are invited? It’s less obvious why they would want the parents of current sixth formers in.

Quite!
