Aloof teacher is heavy on app use and doesn't communicate well - would you take it to the principal?

She never says her daughter has spoken to tje teacher or emailed. She never explains if she has sat down with her child to see the time stamp where her daughter says she has turned in work that has gotten a zero (and actually clicked on what she submitted since some students submit blank work so it looks like the submitted an assignment on time).

OP just emails the principal and teacher.

OP your kid is 13 1/2 or 14 years old Im am advanced math class. That is old enough to speak to teachers.

Then the teacher should stop emailing parents. Or respond like a human being and use her big girl words rather than hiding behind apps. My kid told her exactly what happened. If the teacher dies not like to support kids and cut a kid slack for a long day at the doctors office, there are many other careers to choose from that do not involve dealing with annoying children with medical issues.

So it sounds like your real problem is that the teacher isn’t “cutting a kid slack.” If I’m reading between the lines properly, this isn’t about a teacher breaking rules. Instead, this is a teacher not bending to your will.

You are presenting as a challenging parent, emailing the principal (skipping chain of command) and insulting the teacher at every chance.

Perhaps you’d get more sympathy if you acted more reasonably yourself.

No more PTA, no more Karen's, no more teacher bashing. We are actually the smart, fair, professionals in the room. However, we live in a Idiocracy where idiots get rich pumping drugs to the masses for extreme profits in the pharma corridor and real honest teachers are the problem. You drugged up Karen parents are driving teachers out of the profession.
