I have a lot of friends who are SNAs and I did not know that SNAs are not allowed to speak to parents about the progress of the children they are working with. In schools I have worked with, the SNAs and parents always had a very close relationship. These SNAs are closest to the children and they are a gateway to meaningful participation in accessing the curriculum. I see it as a sign of disrespect and undermining their vital role in the children's learning and accessing this curriculum. Can Fórsa clarify for me where that is stipulated? Is that a rule or is it at the discretion of the schools or the principals of those SNAs?
