My grandkids attend Allen. I volunteered at Allen. I never saw volunteers discussing children. I was busy helping teachers with menial jobs so they could focus on providing materials that helped their students. As a former teacher, I was able to do quite a few projects for them to enrich learning. I know how much teachers do at night just to keep students interested and to provide individual enrichment for students that learn more slowly. All students in one grade do not learn at the same rate. I would think that volunteers could do more than sit around talking. I certainly did not have time to engage in idle gossip. And I never saw that occur. Sounds like more of a volunteer’s responsibility to stop this. Teachers do not have time to police volunteers. If you can’t help—stay home.
