As a co-operative parent volunteer in N. VA for 7+ years for my 3 children the dynamic of contributing to the development of your child through pre-school was a fabulous experience.  I understand there is poorly worded legislation that would require volunteer parents to meet much more rigid standards of training.  Conceptually, some burden of training is logical to make sure parents have basic knowldege of the school routine, safety, etc.. but extensive training similar to the accredited teacher(s) on site is overly burdensome "nanny" (pun intended) state treatment.  My volunteer work was probably about 3 hours per month for 8 months of the year (24 hours). Probably about the same amount of time spent managing birthday party gatherings each year.  Is the next legislative step to require 20+ hours of training for all adults to watch a few kids playing in a bouncy house?   Looking forward to rational resolution of this legislation that does not increase the burden for parents that volunteer to be with their children.
