Seriously?

There is page after page on this site of teachers complaining that parents don't want to get involved with their child's education. That we are disconnected from the classroom and not offering appropriate instructional support at home. Yet...yet....you get snotty when a parent says they check to see lesson plans. THIS is why teachers have the PR problems they do right now.

I have never had a parent email me asking for lesson plans. I always respond promptly to parents. I get just as irritated when parents don’t respond back via email. Majority of emails revolve around absences, being late, etc. very thankful to have a great school community with caring and respectful parents.

I did not think these were things we could even ask. Seems like it would be annoying for the teacher to answer all these types of inquiries individually. As much as I would love to know what is going on in the classroom and be able to support the educational process as has been mentioned in this thread, school is a literal black hole except what my kids tell me. And no there are not classroom volunteers allowed and we have had no in person school events this year. We are not allowed in the building at all.

Is your child in ES? Our teacher sends a weekly email to all parents with important info and a brief description of what the kids worked on that week in each subject area. Most teachers at our school have done this.

I don’t use them, so there’d be nothing to see.

Teachers can’t complain that parents are uninvolved and then turn around and be aghast when they want to see lesson plans.

Do you even know what lesson plans are? Hint: You are not entitled to them.
