Actually not usually true. I always have had two or three chairs placed near the doorway so that anyone can pop in unobtrusively to observe, parents and administrators alike. More schools should encourage this openness. It is usually not the school administrators who object as such; but the teachers themselves who are worried they may be shown up for what they are/are not.
