Moms Talk: What Question Would You Like to See on a School Survey?

and elementaries have disseminated parent surveys asking for their take on topics ranging from homework loads to safety in the classroom. The data will be crunched and used to tweak areas that need improvement, and to continue programs and policies that are working well.

As a parent, are there other topics you would like to see addressed regarding your child's classroom or overall education? Questions not on the survey, but forwarded by one mom, include assigned seating at lunch and whether an assigned project is grade-level appropriate. 

Therefore, this week's Moms Talk question: What question would you like to see on a parental survey? Please answer in the comment section beneath the story.

Previously, this column has addressed a number of potentially sticky parenting issues such as social media and cell phone use, and we've gotten some great feedback.

Here's a a quick look at some of our past questions:

Do you see cliques starting younger than when you were in school, and if so, how do you help your child navigate those social land mines?

How do you discuss different academic abilities with your kids?

At what age do you allow your children to have a Facebook or My Space page?

So, Moms, when is advanced placement, advancement overload? Are parents (and kids) overbooking kids?
