I am very happy for them to view the class blog, or their child's individual school blog. This is because parents and whanau are not bound by the same rules and regulations that their children are at school. All it takes is one indiscretion. While parents/caregivers may be responsible, it is easy for siblings, cousins, etc to get online using a parent log-in and act in an immature way to bring the whole thing down. Therefore view access, Yes, edit and contribute access, No. I have a concern with parents and whanau being able to edit and contribute to a class blog.
