A school district in Tennessee is facing criticism after parents were asked to refrain from listening in during their children’s online classroom instruction.
Rutherford County Schools in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, had asked parents to sign a form agreeing to give teachers privacy with students, according to Fox News.
The district soon came under fire, Fox reported, and retracted its stance asking parents not to listen to what their children were being told during virtual classes.
Parents are now no longer being asked to stay away from participating in the educational experience of their children.
“We are aware of the concern that has been raised about this distance-learning letter that was sent to parents," school district communications director James Evans told Fox News.
