Some hear No and say OK, I hear No and ask why not?

All I wanted to do was sit in on a reading lesson in my son's classroom - is that too much to ask? Apparently the answer is yes. So I ask why not? What are they hiding? What don't you want me to see? It is my right as a parent and a member of my son's CSE team to observe a classroom. IDEA tells me that and yet the principal tries to tell me something different. If it is ok to come into the class during a party, why is it not ok to visit a class during a lesson? Other school personnel can sit in on a class and observe my son, however, I cannot. Am I to believe that the whole theory of parent participation is a crock of crap? Administration wants to talk a good game but in reality they want to keep the doors shut.

I must now push on and carry it to the next level. Civil rights are being violated and someone will pay.
