"This informal gathering will provide a wonderful opportunity for parents to get together and join me to share ideas and challenges over a cup of coffee..."Unfortunately, this is only held in the morning at 8:45, which isn't appropriate for many parents such as those who has to go to work. So on January 29, I wrote to the ISK Head of Elementary, and copied the Director on my email regarding the Elementary School Parents' Coffee Morning. I stated:
"We appreciate the idea of parents getting together with you over coffee to share ideas and challenges etc.. However, I'd like to suggest that you alternate the time of such an event between morning and evening. This way, working parents are better accommodated, since they cannot attend the morning session."Until now, I have not received a reply from the school. No surprises there!
Just like the 'Half Day of School', I find that ISK has the right idea, but again a total disregard, and a lack of consideration for most working parents, and parents who cannot attend morning sessions.

Well we still didn't receive a response from either the Director or Head of Elementary, so we assume that our suggestion has been ignored. Not surprising really. Anyway, from the summary that we received from Mr. Elkei about the topics discussed, which was more related to operational issues for the school, I guess I didn't miss much. If you attended, I'd like to hear your comment about the session. Was it what you expected?
