mainly to show off I think (look what I can do). Good for the
kids and the club to have interested parents.
Plus, it helps keep them in line.
I wish more parents would stay at my kids' class.
***, when I taught swimming it was the other way around. The more
parents were around the less well behaved the kids were.

I assist-teach at my kids' class, and I know a lot of the parents personally (i.e. socially, unrelated to karate).
I've found that a quiet "do you want to calm down and pay attention, or do I have to ask [your mom/your dad] to stay during class time" keeps the rambunctious 6's, 7's and 8's down.
