CAN AND SHOULD PARENTS STAY AND WATCH THEIR CHILDREN IN CLASS?
Parents are always welcome to stay during their children’s class as long as they are neither disruptive nor distracting. Most children and beginners have very short attention spans and are easily distracted. We, as instructors want the students and parents to be comfortable with class, and can do our best job when we have the undivided and complete attention of the students, but if the child is continuously running to his/her parent, this could be a problem. A benefit for the children to having their parent watch is that the parents can help their children at home. By watching the parents can pick up things a child might have missed, and the parents can write the techniques down for their children.
