But even if we're talking about our kids' own teachers, they still stay quiet because that's their colleague. I can't imagine one of my friends who works at the school, let alone a teacher I barely know, gossiping to me about their new boss. PP sounds like a troll who is digging in.

You aren’t really friends with them as much as you like to think you are.

Sorry you don't know what a friend is.

K. You keep on believing that the teacher at the school is actually your “friend.”

Maybe it’s you who doesn’t understand what a real friend is.

Bless your heart. You know that there are some people who live in the same neighborhood that they teach in? That neighbors can become friends long before they have children in the schools? Long before it matters that one of them is a teacher at the school that your child attends? I'm sorry you live in like North Arlington, where teachers can't afford to buy homes.

The clueless person is the one who thinks that teachers can only be friends with other teachers. Of course we are friends with our neighbors.

It’s surface only. Teachers can’t actually share their true feelings with those parents that have kids at the school.

Never said that. What I said is you aren’t as close to her as you think you are. She has you at arm’s length I am sure since she works at the school and lives in the neighborhood. She isn’t going to share with you her thoughts on the new principal or gossip or anything. It’s surface.

Attended the BTS night and it was horrible The teachers were horribly disinterested and rushing thro. The Principal seems quite inexperienced and overall can see Navy deteriorating completely - Ohh and DS said there is a new policy of lunch seating with a girl-boy-girl-boy pattern. Sad - the only time kids get to sit and mingle, has been changed. Also causing a lot more noise with kids screaming across to their friends - a mess !

My kid had seating patterns there about five years ago that were the same. They are always trying different ways to control the lunchroom behaviors.

The boy/girl thing may be temporary. Believe me, they did not do this to increase the noise.

I remember my sixth grade teacher assigning us to specific tables. We did not like it at all.

I taught school. i had one principal who allowed NO talking in the cafeteria. Kids were able to go out to recess as soon as they finished, so I guess it was not too bad. He made the rule (and, he did supervise in there frequently) because the noise was sooo awful.

Oh, so someone is only your true friend if they are willing to gossip with you? Your values are f***d up, lady.

We've come full circle, PP. Yes, this is exactly what I said. I am friends with people who teach at my children's school and live in our neighborhood. They don't gossip about their workplace. That doesn't mean we're not friends. It just means they're not gossips. I don't share my workplace gossip with them either.

I think you're confused about friendships -- the surface friendships are the ones you have with your mom friends with whom you only discuss your children, their school, their activities.

The principal seemed inexperienced? Well, maybe because HE IS! He just started. Lucky for him, he gets to have every move dissected by anonymous jackals, including you PP, who’s already decided after one Back to School Night that he will be be a failure.

And then people wonder why principals and teachers are leaving in droves. You really are an embarrassment, PP.

My kid told me the trash disposal policy at the end of lunch causes huge delays.

For some reason, 5th grade got the last lunch this year and they ran out of the entree my kid wanted last week. Last lunch sucks.
